PC Card Types

PC Card types vary as follows:

•Type I cards are usually memory cards and are the thinnest at 3.3 mm.

•Type II cards, such as modem cards, are 5.0 mm thick.

•Type III cards, typically hard disk drives, are the thickest at 10.5 mm.

•Extended Type I, Type II, and Type III PC Cards are the same height and width as standard size PC Cards. They have added length or thickness at one end so they can accommodate external connectors or wireless PC Card antennas.
