摘要： A solid state drive (SSD) device includes a printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA), a connector mounted on the circuit board, an open-frame support-type housing including first and second parallel elongated brackets extending along opposing peripheral edges of said circuit board, each bracket including a first connecting structure for securing the circuit board to the housing, and a second connecting structure for connecting the housing to an internal rack frame of a host system. The open-frame support type housing does not include a top cover and a bottom cover, whereby both of said opposing first and second surfaces are exposed by first and second openings. The housing includes optional end rails that form a box-like frame. The elongated brackets are formed using die-cast metal, stamped metal, or molded plastic with copper posts. Optional clamp-type brackets clamp along side edges of the PCBA.

摘要： In an embodiment of the present invention, a memory card includes a bottom plastic piece having a plurality of lateral sides, one of which includes a notch, and a cavity interposed along the lateral sides. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, including memory, is positioned in the cavity. A fin-structure is created as part of the manufacturing process of the bottom plastic piece of the card. The memory card is configured to function in a read-write mode when the fin-structure is present, and in a write-protect mode when the fins are snapped off, and the notch is exposed. Alternatively, a plug device can be insertably positioned into the notch, causing the memory card to function in a read-write mode when the plug device is positioned into the notch, and in a write-protect mode when the plug device is removed and the notch is exposed.

摘要： In an embodiment of the present invention, the hollow shell of a mid-seam memory card is composed of three, independently formed, plastic pieces—a bottom plastic piece, a top plastic piece, and a plastic lid. The plastic pieces are cross-linked using, for example, ultraviolet light (UV) activated epoxy, or ultrasonic-press methods. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, including memory, is positioned within the cavity of the plastic pieces, and the lid is attached. The PCB assembly can be made using chip on board (COB) or surface mount technology (SMT) components attached using ball grid array (BGA) or thin and small outline package (TSOP) connections. Various read-write/write-protect devices are possible, and can be implemented in the form of a physical feature present on one of the lateral sides of the bottom and top plastic pieces. Such devices allow the card to be read from, or written to, when in read-write mode; and upon action by the user, cause the card to function in a write-protect mode, where no more information can be written to the card's memory. These devices may be manifested as dynamic switches, removably connectible plugs, or permanently removable fin-structures.

摘要： The present invention discloses UV-epoxy and ultrasonic case assembly methods for a USB flash drive, wherein a transparent or translucent top cover is fastened to a bottom cover containing a printed circuit board assembly via an UV-cure epoxy glue or an ultrasonic weld method. As the top cover of the USB flash drive is transparent or translucent, the USB flash drive has a see-through property and presents an aesthetic taste, which can attract the attention of consumers. Further, the method of the present invention uses less case parts and fewer steps and thus can fabricate a USB flash drive having a lower cost and a better quality at a higher throughput. Furthermore, the USB flash drive fabricated according to the method of the present invention has a better moisture resistance and a better water resistance.

摘要： A microSD-to-SD adaptor card includes a base substrate having a lead frame structure, a protective cap forming a chamber that encloses eight microSD contact pins of the lead frame structure, and a thermoset plastic casing formed over the protective cap and exposed portions of the base substrate to provide the adaptor card with standard SD card dimensions. A rear opening facilitates insertion of a standard microSD card, whereby the eight contact pads on the microSD card are contacted by the eight microSD contact pins inside the chamber to allow electrical signals generated by the microSD card to be transmitted to a host system by way of a standard SD socket. A grip anchor pin is disposed inside the chamber to engage a grip notch disposed on the microSD card. A pre-molded switch slot is provided on the molded plastic casing, and an insert-in write protect switch is mounted after molding.
