Pin Configuration & Description

Pin Description
1 [VCC] +5V or 3.3V DC power supply input
Provides operating voltage to the SIM chip.
2 [RESET] Card reset, used to reset the card's communications (optional)
Sends a reset signal to restart communication protocol.
3 [CLOCK] Card clock
Synchronizes data transfer between the mobile device and SIM card.
4 [RESERVED] AUX1, optionally used for USB interfaces and other uses
Not used in standard GSM/UMTS/LTE SIMs; reserved for future or specialized applications.
5 [GND] Ground
Common ground reference for all signals.
6 [VPP] +21V DC programming voltage input (optional)
Used during manufacturing to program the SIM chip; not active in normal operation.
7 [I/O] Input or Output for serial data (half-duplex)
Bidirectional data line for exchanging information between the phone and SIM.
8 [RESERVED] AUX2, optionally used for USB interfaces and other uses
Reserved for future use or special applications such as smart card emulation.

A complete guide to RJ-11, RJ-14, RJ-25, RJ-48, and RJ-9 connectors with color-coded diagrams and technical descriptions. RJ-48 – E1 and T1 Plug (8P8C) Connector Type: 8P8C (8 positions, 8 conductors) Color Code: Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, White, Black Application: Used in digital telecommunications for T1/E1 lines in carrier networks and PBX systems. Pin Functions: Each pair (1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8) carries a separate tip and ring signal for high-speed data or voice channels. Standard: ANSI/TIA-568-B RJ-25 – 6P6C Plug Connector Type: 6P6C (6 positions, 6 conductors) Color Code: White, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue Application: Designed for multi-line telephone systems supporting up to three independent phone lines. Pin Functions: Pairs (1–2), (3–4), and (5–6) each carry a separate line (Tip/Ring). Usage: Found in business telephony and legacy PBX installations. RJ-14 – 6P4C Plug Connector Type: 6P4C (6 positions, 4 conductors) Color Code: White, Black, Red, Green Application: Used for dual-line residential or office telephones. Pin Functions: Pins 1–2 for Line 1 (Tip/Ring), Pins 3–4 for Line 2 (Tip/Ring). Note: Compatible with standard RJ-11 jacks when only one line is used. RJ-11 – 6P2C Plug Connector Type: 6P2C (6 positions, 2 conductors) Color Code: White, Red Application: The most common connector for single-line analog telephone service worldwide. Pin Functions: Pin 1 = Tip (T), Pin 2 = Ring (R) – carries the voice signal and power for the phone. Compatibility: Widely used in home phones, fax machines, and modems. RJ-9 – 4P4C Plug (Inside the Handset) Connector Type: 4P4C (4 positions, 4 conductors) Color Code: Black, Red, Green, Yellow Application: Connects the handset to the telephone base, carrying microphone and speaker signals. Pin Functions: Pin 1 (Black): Ground / MIC return Pin 2 (Red): Microphone (MIC) Pin 3 (Green): Speaker (SPKR) Pin 4 (Yellow): Ground / SPKR return Internal Circuit: Often includes a ~500Ω resistor between MIC and SPKR to prevent feedback oscillation.
