Card-type peripheral device

Abstract

A card-type peripheral device including a circuit board having a ground conductor, a conductive frame for supporting the circuit board, and a conductive panel attached to the conductive frame and cooperating with the conductive frame to surround the circuit board. The conductive frame includes a frame section having an exposed surface portion, a first contact section formed integrally with the frame section and making an electrically conductive contact with the ground conductor of the circuit board, and a second contact section formed integrally with the frame section and making an electrically conductive contact with the conductive panel. The first contact section preferably exhibits a spring action so as to establish a good electrically conductive connection between the frame section of the conductive frame and the ground conductor of the circuit board. The second contact section also preferably exhibits a spring action so as to establish a good electrically conductive connection between the conductive frame and the conductive panel.
