Abstract
In one version, a PC card has a printed circuit board assembly (11) that is interposed between card shields (5,6). This PC card is frameless. In another version, a PC card has: card shields (103,104); a printed circuit board assembly (110) interposed between the card shields; and two interposing side frames (105, 105′).
Claims21
In a PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields, wherein the improvement comprises a polarizing key located adjacent said PCB assembly, and outwardly projecting tabs on the PCB support (the receptacle connector) to make the PC card more rigid.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing plastic side frames, wherein there are ground tracks on the PCB, the shields are electrically connected to said ground tracks to form a ground loop, the shields have a hold-down area with a window, and the plastic side frame latches to said window.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing metallic side frames, wherein there are ground tracks on the PCB and the shields are electrically connected to said ground tracks to form a ground loop.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing side frames and including a connector with an outwardly projecting ridge, wherein there are ground tracks on the PCB and the shields are electrically connected to said ground tracks to form a ground loop.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing side frames, wherein said side frames minimize relative movements of the PCB and the shields, the PCB has ground tracks, and the shields are electrically connected to said ground tracks to form a ground loop.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing side frames that slidably engage the shields, wherein there are ground tracks on the PCB and the shields are electrically connected to said ground tracks to form a ground loop.
A PC card comprising a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly interposed between card shields having two interposing side frames, wherein the connector has an outwardly projecting ridge.
A PC card, comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- at least one electrical connector mounted to said printed circuit board;
- a conductive shield surrounding said printed circuit board and said connector, said shield having sides;
- and
- a frame consisting essentially of a pair of bars, each extending along a respective one of said sides of said shield.
