Industrial imaging storage spans 3 interface generations — CompactFlash, CFast and CFexpress / XQD — and the socket follows the card the host controller supports, not the card body. KINGCONN carries all 3: CF at 50 positions in 0.635mm and 1.27mm pitch rated to 10,000 cycles, CFast at 1.27mm pitch and 8.35mm profile, and CFexpress / XQD with LCP housings and SUS304 stainless shells.
3 generations, 1 selection question
| Generation | Interface | Published specification | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| CompactFlash (CF) | parallel ATA interface | 50 positions, 0.635mm and 1.27mm pitch | installed industrial machines, older professional cameras |
| CFast | CF card body, serial SATA interface | 1.27mm pitch, 8.35mm profile | industrial imaging, broadcast recording |
| CFexpress / XQD | PCIe / NVMe interface | LCP housing, SUS304 stainless shell | high-throughput cameras and recorders |
CF: the workhorse of installed equipment
CF sockets in the catalog are 50-position with 0.635mm and 1.27mm pitch versions and durability up to 10,000 cycles. CF is still everywhere in shipped industrial machines; if your original socket source has gone end-of-life, send the drawing or part number and KINGCONN evaluates supply from existing tooling.
CFast and CFexpress
Catalog CFast models are 1.27mm pitch at 8.35mm profile, also in the 10,000 cycle class, available as push-push, non-push and lock mechanisms. CFexpress / XQD models use glass-filled LCP housings with stainless (SUS304) shells for the mating precision the format requires.
