1-2 About the PCD Card
Publication 1784-IN029C-EN-P - June 2001
Currently there are three types of PC cards:
Communication
The socket provides the physical connection to the PC card. The PC card then is 
connected to the I/O bus in your computer through a hardware interface called the 
adapter.
IMPORTANT
If the PCMCIA slot in your computer is thick enough to 
accommodate a Type III card, then it can also accommodate a 
Type I or II card.
Type I
3.3 mm thick
13 in.
85.6 mm 
3.37 in.
54 mm 
2.13 in.
Center
data storage, such as Flash 
memory cards
Type II
5.0 mm thick
197 in.
Type III
10.5 mm thick
41 in.
I/O such as modem, LAN, and 
host communications (the 
Allen-Bradley 1784-PCD, 
-PCMK, and -PCC cards are 
Type II cards)
data storage or I/O capabilities 
that require more space, such as 
rotating media and wireless 
communication devices

All three types of PC cards use the same 
68–pin connector. The pins are in two
parallel rows of 34 pins. When inserted
into the PCMCIA slot on your computer,
the connector mates with a single molded 
socket.
