Abstract
A storage device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with attached semiconductor chips, each including a memory, and with at least one wire coupling the semiconductor chips. The storage device includes a case including a first case surrounding a top portion of the printed circuit board and a second case surrounding a bottom portion of the printed circuit board. A sidewall of the first case and a protrusion of the second case form a concavo-convex structure. The sidewall of the first case and the protrusion of the second case cover a side of the printed circuit board.
Claims20
A storage device comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) with attached semiconductor chips, each including a memory, and with at least one wire coupling the semiconductor chips;
- and
- a case comprising a first case surrounding a top portion of the printed circuit board and a second case surrounding a bottom portion of the printed circuit board,
- wherein a flat sidewall of the first case and a protrusion of the second case form a stepped bending structure, the protrusion surrounded by the flat sidewall,
- the flat sidewall of the first case is coupled to an inner portion which extends partially downward and along the flat sidewall and faces the protrusion of the second case,
- both the flat sidewall of the first case extending below a lower surface of the printed circuit board and the protrusion of the second case extending above an upper surface of the printed circuit board cover all of a side of the printed circuit board, and
- the inner portion extending partially downward and along the flat sidewall of the first case and the protrusion of the second case extending above the upper surface of the printed circuit board are separated by a slit present above the printed circuit board, and
- the inner portion, extending partially downward and along the flat sidewall of the first case, stops above the slit present above the printed circuit board such that the slit above the printed circuit board provides electromagnetic shielding.
An electrical apparatus comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- and
- first and second cases covering a top and a bottom of the printed circuit board,
- wherein the first and second cases are detachable, and
- wherein a flat sidewall of the first case extending below a lower surface of the printed circuit board and a protrusion of the second case extending above an upper surface of the printed circuit board cover all of a side of the printed circuit board, the protrusion surrounded by the flat sidewall,
- wherein a side of the protrusion facing the side of the printed circuit board is flat, wherein the flat sidewall of the first case is coupled to an inner portion which extends partially downward and along the flat sidewall of the first case and faces the protrusion of the second case, and
- wherein the inner portion, extending partially downward and along the flat sidewall of the first case, stops above a slit present above the printed circuit board such that the slit above the printed circuit board provides electromagnetic shielding.
