Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 Black SIM Tray Replacement

Product Overview

Replacement parts for the 2017 Galaxy A5 are becoming scarce in Pakistan — Samsung discontinued this mid-range favourite years ago, but plenty are still in daily use. This black SIM tray restores Nano-SIM connectivity to your Galaxy A5 2017 while stock remains available at dastyab.pk. Made from durable plastic, it slots flush into the A5's glass-and-metal frame without any visible mismatch.

Compatibility Details

This tray fits the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 (SM-A520F) exclusively. The Galaxy A5 2017 uses a single Nano-SIM tray with a dedicated microSD card slot — so you get both your SIM and expandable storage without any shared-slot compromises.

Models that will NOT fit this tray:

• Galaxy A5 2015 (SM-A500F) — smaller body at 139.3 x 69.7 mm with a completely different tray design
• Galaxy A5 2016 (SM-A510F) — slightly different dimensions (144.8 x 71.0 mm) and a redesigned tray mechanism
• Galaxy A50 (SM-A505F) — much larger phone (158.5 x 74.7 mm) with a dual Nano-SIM tray layout
• Galaxy A51 (SM-A515F) — different generation entirely, dual SIM configuration with different tray dimensions
• Galaxy A52 (SM-A525F) — newer design at 159.9 x 75.1 mm, incompatible tray shape and SIM arrangement

Samsung reused the "A5" name across multiple years, and each version has a unique tray. Always confirm your model number (SM-A520F) before ordering.

Device-Specific Context

The Galaxy A5 2017 was one of Samsung's first mid-range phones with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating — unusual for its price bracket at the time. A properly seated SIM tray is essential to maintaining that water seal. After installing the replacement tray, press it firmly until it sits completely flush with the frame, with no gaps along the edges. Avoid submerging the phone immediately after replacement — give the rubber gasket time to settle. The A5 2017's premium glass front and back with metal frame construction means a misaligned tray will be visually obvious, so take care during installation. With features like Always-on display and Samsung Pay still functional, this phone remains a capable daily driver worth maintaining.

Color Matching

This black SIM tray matches the Black Sky variant of the Galaxy A5 2017. Samsung also released this phone in Gold Sand, Blue Mist, and Peach Cloud — if your A5 2017 is one of those colours, check our other dastyab.pk listings for a matching tray to keep the look seamless.

Practical Information

For a phone released in 2017, the Galaxy A5 still holds up well for everyday tasks — its Super AMOLED display, USB-C charging, and IP68 rating were ahead of their class. Replacing a worn-out SIM tray costs a fraction of upgrading to a new device and keeps your A5 connected. Available with cash on delivery across Pakistan through dastyab.pk, so you can order with confidence regardless of your location.
