Development Board Interfaces #

 

2FF Dual Simcard switch pinout
Pin map
NO. Name Silkscreen Comment
P3‑1 Ground GND –
P3‑2 Select Sel 0 – Power
P3‑3 Power VCC 1.65–4.3 V
P3‑4 Ground GND –
P2‑1 VSIM VSIM These pins are similar to the pins of the FPC connector. You can use them if you do not use the FPC connector.
P2‑2 VCC VCC –
P2‑3 RST RST –
P2‑4 CLK CLK –
P2‑5 DATA DATA –
P2‑6 Simcard-GND SIMG –

For switching between two SIM cards, you can connect the Select pin (pin header P3) to ground or VCC manually with a jumper, or you can control this pin using a microcontroller to set it high or low.

Getting Started Preparation #

Step 1: Connect the board power

Step 2: Place the SIM cards in the SIM card case

Step 3: Switch between SIM cards by High and Low the select pin

Step 4: Connect the board to your microcontroller with the FPC connector or the header pin(P2)

FAQ #

What is the Switch Simcard board used for?

This is a dual SIM single-standby analog switch board (based on onsemi FSA2567/FSA2568) that allows you to connect two Mini-SIM (2FF) cards to a single cellular module and switch between them instantly.

How many SIM cards can be connected?

Two full-size Mini-SIM (2FF) cards. Only one is active at a time (single standby).

How to switch between the two SIM cards?

Control the SEL pin (P3-2):
• Low (0 V) → SIM 1 active
• High (VCC) → SIM 2 active
You can switch manually with a jumper or via any GPIO from your microcontroller.

What voltage should I supply to the board?

Connect the same SIM voltage your module uses to VCC (P3-3): 1.65 V – 4.3 V (typically 1.8 V or 2.9 V). The board has built-in 5 A surge protection.

How to connect it to my GSM module?

Two options:
• Use the 6-pin FPC connector (P1) with a 6-pin FPC cable
• Solder wires directly to the 6-pin header (P2): VSIM, VCC, RST, CLK, DATA, SIMG

Is the board breadboard compatible?

Yes – 2.54 mm headers (P2 & P3) fit perfectly in any standard breadboard.

Does it support Nano-SIM (4FF)?

No – only Mini-SIM (2FF) cards are supported natively. Use a 2FF-to-4FF adapter if needed.

What are the board dimensions?

Compact size: 40 × 30 mm with mounting holes.

Is any level shifter or extra component needed?

No – the board is a pure analog switch with no MCU or level translation. Just connect power, SEL, and SIM signals directly.

Can I switch SIM cards while the module is powered?

Yes – hot-switching is supported. The module will detect the new SIM automatically after a few seconds
