Samsung Galaxy M16 5G Sim Connector

SIM Card Connector or SIM Reader

1. SIM Card Tray (The removable plastic/metal holder)

This is the most common part that people look for if it’s lost or bent.

• Retailers often list it as: “Samsung Galaxy M16 SIM Tray” or “SIM Card Tray Slot Holder.”
• You can find this replacement part on online spare parts and general e-commerce websites. Be sure to check for the correct color if available.

2. SIM Card Connector (The internal component)

If the actual contacts inside the phone (the part soldered to the motherboard) are damaged, this is a much more complex repair.

• Part Name: This component is typically called the SIM Connector or SIM FPC Connector and is a surface-mounted component on the main board.
• Availability: While entire motherboards and other connectors (like MMC or other FPC connectors) for the Galaxy M16 5G are listed, the SIM card connector chip itself is a tiny, delicate part. It is usually purchased by professional technicians who specialize in micro-soldering repairs.
• Repair Recommendation: If your SIM card connector is damaged, this requires expert micro-soldering work. It is strongly advised not to attempt this repair yourself. Contact a professional mobile repair service or a Samsung Authorized Service Center.

Recommendation:

• If you need the removable tray: Search for the “Samsung Galaxy M16 5G SIM Tray” on online spare parts websites.
• If the internal connector is damaged: You will need to take your phone to a certified repair technician for a professional microsoldering repair.
