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： According to certain embodiments of the invention, a flash memory card is manufactured using COB processes on a PCB panel with multiple micro cards PCB substrates. These micro memory cards are laid out in an array of 3×5 matrixes of micro cards PCB substrates. A method of molding over a PCBA is utilized, contrary to a conventional method of having two or more pieces of package components to tape together. This results in a simpler structure without the notch which enables easier singulation process and the package is moisture resistance. The final product is a single piece versus two or three pieces glued up pieces and would not separate from pieces. The final product has high water and moisture resistance, low cost and fast manufacturing throughput, no seam and aesthetically more appeasing, can stack more layers of flash memory die, and be maximized XY spaces to accommodate larger size flash memory die.

摘要： A low-profile Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) assembly includes a modular USB core component and an external case. The modular USB core component includes a PCBA in which all passive components and unpackaged IC chips are attached to a single side of a PCB opposite to the metal contacts. The IC chips (e.g., USB controller, flash memory) are attached to the PCB by wire bonding or other chip-on-board (COB) technique. The passive components are attached by conventional surface mount technology (SMT) techniques. A molded housing is then formed over the IC chips and passive components such that the device has a uniform thickness. The modular USB core component is then inserted or otherwise combined with an external plastic case to provide a USB assembly. An optional carrying case is disclosed.
