Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontaktiereinheit für ein kartenförmiges Trägerelement elektronischer Baugruppen, insbesondere für ISO 7816 Chipkarten, mit einem steckkartenförmigen Gehäuse, das eine metallische Basisplatte (1) und eine metallische Abdeckplatte aufweist, zwischen denen ein an einer Stirnseite des Gehäuses mündender schlitzartiger Einschubkanal für die Aufnahme der jeweiligen Chipkarte ausgebildet ist, und das an der anderen Stirnseite mit einer Steckverbinderleiste, insbesondere nach PCMCIA-Norm, versehen ist, die mit einer parallel zum Einschubkanal im Gehäuse angeordneten, durch einen Kunststoffrahmen an der Abdeckplatte gehaltenen Leiterplatte elektrisch verbunden ist, die mit einem Kontaktfeld zur Kontaktierung der Chipkarte versehen ist, wobei die metallische Basisplatte (1) mit einer Verstärkerplatte (2) aus Kunststoff versehen ist, die in einem der Einführung der Chipkarten dienenden Zusatzbereich (21) seitliche Führungen (22) aufweist.
Abstract:
A PC card (11) comprises a casing (12) and a PCB (15) mounted within the casing to extend from one end portion (13) thereof towards the opposite end portion (14) thereof. The PCB (15) is mounted within the casing (12) in such a manner that small components can be mounted on the PCB at a first side thereof at said one end portion (13) of the casing and at the second side of the PCB at said other end portion (14) of the casting, and such that taller components can be mounted on the PCB at the first side thereof at said other end portion of the casing and at the second side of the PCB at said one end portion of the casing.
Abstract:
A grounding clip (50) for a memory card mountable to an insulative housing (16) of a connector (12) along a rear face thereof. The grounding clip (50) includes a ground tab (72) solderable to a ground pad (36G) of a circuit board (14) when connector (12) is secured thereto, and further includes spring arms (62, 64) extending along and away from top and bottom surfaces (44, 46) of the housing, to be engaged and deflected when top and bottom conductive covers (80, 82) are secured around the connector and circuit board, thereby grounding the covers to the circuit board ground circuit (36G).
Abstract:
An IC card assembly includes a one piece molded housing having an open end and a cavity formed therein. The opening end includes an interface having a plurality of keyed first interlock surfaces. An IC card is attached to a connector. The connector has a mating interface including second interlock surfaces keyed into oriented engagement with the keyed first interlock surfaces. Spacers are provided for maintaining spacing between the housing and opposed surfaces of the card. Interacting latch members secure the engagement of the connector and the housing.
Abstract:
A memory card connector comprises stacked frames (60, 80) having mounting brackets (68a-68d, 80a-80d; 70a, 70b; 90a, 90b) extending out from side walls (64, 84; 66, 86) of the frames, and mounting fixtures having openings (126a-128d, 128a-128d; 166a, 166b; 168a, 168b) for receiving the mounting brackets to fix the frames (60, 80) together and mount the frames to a base.
Abstract:
A removable electronic subassembly is designed for placement into a data processing system which requires said removable electronic subassembly to fit into an aperture defining a selected form factor. The removable electronic subassembly comprises a rigid enclosure which encloses interior components of the removable electronic subassembly. The rigid enclosure has exterior dimensions which are smaller than the selected form factor. A layer of resilient material is mounted to an exterior of the rigid enclosure. The layer of resilient material and the rigid enclosure have at least one exterior dimension which exceeds the selected form factor in an uncompressed state wherein the resilient material may be compressed such that the at least one exterior dimension conforms to the selected form factor.
Abstract:
A package (10) for a memory card (28) and the process by which the package is manufactured. The package comprises chiefly two stamped steel covers, (an upper (12) and a lower cover (14) half), each secured to a plastic frame element (16 and 18). The cover halves (16 and 18) are secured by extended fingers (26) which wrap around the plastic frame (16 and 18). This provides a double layer of metal at the perimeter of the frame. The two cover halves (12 and 14) are situated so as to encapsulate the subject PCB (28) and to affix it in its proper position. The two cover halves (12 and 14) are then welded together using sonic welding on the plastic frame. The package (10) has been designed to meet all PCMCIA standards, including polarizing keys and grounding points.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to packages for peripheral devices such as memory media and input/output (I/O) devices. The package contains a top cover (2) and a bottom cover (4) secured to each other through a locking mechanism. The top cover (2) contains one or more hooks (18) on its lateral sides (12, 14) and a male latch (26) at one end. The bottom cover (4) contains a one or more recesses corresponding to the hooks (18) and a female latch (32) at one end corresponding to the male latch (26). When assembled, the (hooks18) engage the recesses to secure the package in the X- and Z-axis; and the male latch (26) engages the female latch (32) to secure the package in the Y-axis.
