Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003501734
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A PC card of standard width and thickness (e.g. 54 mm and 5 mm) is constructed to receive a chip card of smaller width and thickness (e.g. 18 mm and 0.8 mm) so the PC card can used to connect contact pads of the chip card to an electronic device such as laptop computer into which the PC card is inserted. The PC card includes a sheet metal cover with a top cover portion (13) having a flat region that is deep drawn to form a ramp (30) that extends downwardly to an aperture (31). A chip card can be slid down along the ramp and through the aperture, and along an internal path portion in the card to engage contacts on a circuit board. Guides on opposite sides of the internal path portion can be formed by tabs (36, 37) partially punched out of the cover portion, parts fastened to the underside of the top sheet metal cover portion, and/or parts or components mounted on the circuit board.
