Abstract
An extension portion of a solid state memory device printed circuit board provides additional ground shielding. In one example, the printed circuit board includes a main body and a connector contact portion at a first end of the main body. The connector contact portion includes pins and an extension portion that provides ground shielding to the pins. Ground pins may be connected to the extension portion by through hole vias. The connector contact portion may be connected to an SFF-8639 port.
