Most of us are familiar with the traditional simcards, which we know as mini, micro and nano simcards, 2FF, 3FF and 4FF respectively. However, for many types of hardware, these sizes are impractical. We will specifically indicate the advantages of solderable simcards, also known as embedded sims (MFF2). These simcards are mounted directly on the printed circuit board (PCB) and cannot be easily removed like the traditional simcards. A 6×5 mm microchip that is soldered onto a printed circuit board.

eSIM stands for embedded SIM. eSIM capabilities are available for all form factors: 2FF (Mini), 3FF (Micro), 4FF (Nano), and MFF2 (the soldered sim chip). The main difference with a standard simcard is the ability to provision the simcard remotely. This means that different carrier profiles can be stored on the sim and subsequently downloaded over the air. It allows a customer to switch between the two without changing the physical simcard itself.
The MFF2 embedded SIM card is a type of SIM card that is soldered directly onto a device. Unlike traditional SIM cards, the MFF2 is not removable and is designed for long-term use in industrial and IoT applications.
Within IoT and connectivity, the MFF2 embedded SIM card is widely used due to its reliability, compact form factor, and suitability for extreme conditions.
