3.7.1  SIM Application Guide 
It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESDA6V1W5 produced by ST 
(www.st.com ) or SMF15C produced by ON SEMI (www.onsemi.com
 ). Note that the SIM 
peripheral circuit should be close to the SIM card socket. The following figure shows the 6-pin 
SIM card holder reference circuit.
