Definitions
- This invention relates generally to PCMCIA cards and particularly to an improved PCMCIA card frame, connector and cover assembly for reinforcing the top panel of the cover assembly, insulating the top cover panel from electrical ground 5 elements carried by the card, and closing the gaps between the connector and the top cover panel.
- PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
- they can be used as a communications link for connecting mobile and remote portable computer users to corporate networks, the Internet and other on-line services from a wide variety of locations; to supplement the semiconductor memory of a personal or notebook computer; or to store information or data for use by the host system; or for reconfiguring the host system in response to 0 information stored in the card.
- PCMCIA cards typically include a substrate in the form of a printed circuit board (PCB) carrying electronic components including integrated circuit packages.
- the PCB is attached along one edge thereof to a multiple connector typically including a connector of molded plastic having multiple contacts for electrically 5 connecting the card to the host system by way of a port or slot.
- a typical PCMCIA card further includes a molded plastic, insulative frame and a sheet metal cover including upper and lower cover panels enclosing the PCB and having forward margins secured to upper and lower surfaces of the plastic connector.
- a PCMCIA card structure that fully supports the top cover panel, prevents the top cover panel from contacting the connector ground plate or the leads extending from the ground plate, and closes off the gap between the connector and the front edge of the top cover panel.
- the ground leads extending rearwardly from the ground plate are so shaped to allow a frame cross beam, molded as an integral part of the plastic, insulative frame, to fit between the ground leads and the top cover panel.
- This allows the cross beam of the frame to support the forward margin of the top cover panel, insulate the top cover panel from the ground plate leads and close off the gap between the back of the connector and the front edge of the top cover panel.
- the transverse length of the ground plate is shortened thereby exposing a shoulder surface along the upper surface of the connector adjacent each end of the connector to allow laterally spaced tabs extending forwardly from the front margin of the cover panel to overlap, and be bonded to, the upper end shoulder surfaces of the connector. The left and right side gaps between the connector ends and the top cover panel are thereby eliminated.

- Fig. 9 is a bottom plan view of the front portion of the card along the lines of Fig. 8, showing the bottom cover panel in place;
- Fig. 1 there is shown a generally rectangular Ethernet LAN communications card 10 incorporating the present invention.
- the card 10 conforms to the PCMCIA Type II (5mm thick) and 32-bit CardBus interface standards.
- FIG. 1 also shows a portable host computer 12, for example, a notebook computer, having a PCMCIA port or slot 14 for receiving the LAN card 10.
- a portable host computer 12 for example, a notebook computer, having a PCMCIA port or slot 14 for receiving the LAN card 10.
- a connector 18 Disposed along a front or forward transverse end 16 of the card 10 is a connector 18 designed to be removably coupled to a corresponding pin connector (not shown) within the slot 14.
- the connector pin assignments are established by the PCMCIA 32-bit CardBus interface standard.
- a metal ground plate 20 is attached to the upper surface of the connector 18.
- the ground plate 20 includes ground contacts in the form of a linear array of bumps 22 projecting upwardly from the ground plate and adapted to engage corresponding ground terminals within the host computer when the card 10 is fully inserted in the slot 14.
- the ground plate supplements the existing ground lines and serves to eliminate spurious ground signals (including “ground bounce") and noise.
- the card 10 further has parallel, longitudinally extending sides 24, 26 and a transversely extending rear end 28.
- the rear end 28 of the card 10 has an input/output port for receiving a plug 30 on one end of a LAN adapter cable 32 for coupling the thin card 10 to a much larger, standard LAN receptacle or jack connected to an Ethernet network.
- the card 10 includes, besides the front connector 18, a molded plastic frame 40, an electronic component substrate in the form of a printed circuit board (PCB) 42 supported by the frame 40, and a sheet metal cover comprising upper and lower cover panels 44 and 46, respectively.
- the PCB 42 supports integrated circuit and other electronic components, such as the components 48 shown schematically in Figs. 10 and 11, for carrying out the LAN communications function, all as well known in the art.
- the PCB 42 has a forward terminal section 50 comprising a plurality of conductive traces which may have a standard spacing or pitch; the traces are connected to the various electronic components 48 carried by the PCB 42.
- the connector 18 has 68 contacts arranged in two rows of 34 contacts each, with the four end contacts (corresponding to pin Nos. 1, 34, 35 and 68) being assigned ground potential.
- the connector 18 further includes an upper, horizontal, planar surface 56, opposite ends 58 and 60, and a rear transverse side 62 from which the contact fingers 54 project. Overlying the upper surface 56 of the connector 18 is a main portion 66 of the metal ground plate 20. The main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 is shorter than the connector 18 so that opposed extremities 68 and 70 of the main portion 66 of the ground plate lie inwardly of the ends 58 and 60 of the connector 18 so that end shoulders 72 and 74 of the upper surface 56 of the connector 18 are exposed.
- the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 further includes a linear array of bumps 22 (eight in number in the example shown in the drawings) which engage ground potential contacts within the card- receiving slot 14 of the host system 12 when the card 10 is fully inserted.
- the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20 may also include a rear, cantilevered margin 75.
- a rear, horizontal, transverse ledge 76 extends rearwardly from the margin 75 of the main ground plate portion 66.
- the ledge 76 and margin 75 of the ground plate 66 are joined by an offset 78 so that the plane of the ledge 76 is below the plane of the main portion 66 of the plate 20.
- the ledge 76 further has ends 80 and 82 captured by recesses 84 and 86 formed in the connector 18 adjacent the connector ends 58 and 60 to help secure the ground plate 20.
- Extending rearwardly from a rear, transverse edge 88 of the ledge 76 is a plurality of ground spring contacts 90.
- eight (8) ground spring contacts 90 are utilized.
- Each contact 90 comprises a horizontal, longitudinally extending portion 92 terminating in an arcuate tail 94 that engages a ground plane trace on the PCB 42.
- the combination of the connector 18 (including the contact fingers 54) and the ground plate 20 (including the ledge 76 and the ground spring contacts 90) may be viewed as together comprising a connector assembly that may be fabricated as a unit for attachment to the frame 40.
- the generally rectangular, frame 40 comprises an integral, unitary structure molded from insulating plastic.
- the frame 40 includes longitudinal, parallel side rails 100 and 102 maintained in spaced apart relationship by cross beams molded integrally with the side rails 100 and 102.
- the frame 40 includes a forward cross beam 104 and a rear cross beam (not shown).
- the frame side rails 100, 102, the forward cross beam 104 and the rear cross beam define a central, open space 106 occupied by the PCB 42.
- the frame side rails 100 and 102 include forwardly directed projections 108 and 110 having inner grooves 112 and 114 for mateably receiving lugs 116 and 118 on the ends of the connector 18 to secure the connector 18 to the frame 40.
- the cross beam 104 includes upper and lower horizontal surfaces 120 and 122, respectively. Extending forwardly from the upper surface 102 of the cross beam 104 is a rectangular flange 124 having a transverse length equal to that of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20. Thus, the flange 124 has longitudinally extending end edges 126, 128 in alignment with the ends 68 and 70 of the ground plate portion 66. The flange 124 further has an upper surface 130, a lower surface 132, and front and rear parallel, transverse edges 134 and 136, respectively.
- the front edge 134 of the flange 124 is positioned parallel with and behind the rear transverse side 62 of the connector 18, thus defining a transverse slot 138 between the flange edge 134 and the connector side 62.
- the vertical thickness of the flange 124 is approximately equal to the depth of the ledge offset 78 and the forward portion of the flange 124 overlaps, in the longitudinal direction, the offset ledge 76. It will thus be seen that the offset 78 extends through the slot 138 and the ledge 76 extends under the flange 124 so that, in combination with the rear margin 75 of the ground plate 20, the slot 138 is closed off.
- the upper surface 130 of the flange 124 is approximately coplanar with the upper surface of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20, thereby presenting an aesthetically appealing appearance.
- the front portion of the lower surface 122 of the cross beam 104 is provided with a series of longitudinal channels 140 in alignment with the ground spring contacts 90. As best seen in Figs. 3, 8 and 11, the horizontal part 92 of each ground contact 90 is received by one of the channels 140.
- the top sheet metal cover panel 44 has a forward margin 142 including a central, forward transverse edge 144 extending between the inner edges 146, 148 of a pair of laterally spaced, generally rectangular, forwardly projecting side tabs 150, 152.
- the forward edge 144 of the top cover panel 44 has a transverse length approximately equal to that of the main portion 66 of the ground plate 20.
- the side tabs 150 and 152 overlie and are bonded to the end shoulders 72, 74 of the upper surface 56 of the connector 18.
- the forward edge 144 of the top cover panel preferably terminates in a lip 154 that engages the upper surface 120 of the cross beam 104 and extends along the rear edge 136 of the flange 124.
- the rear edge 136 has a height approximately equal to that of the thickness of the sheet metal cover panel 44 so that the upper surface of the lip 154 is flush with the upper surface 130 of the flange 124. Further, the combination of the flange 124, the ledge 76, the offset 78 and the rear ground plate margin 75, are effective to close off the space 139 (Fig. 10) between the forward edge 144 of the top cover panel and the rear side 62 of the connector 18.
- the sheet metal cover panel 46 has a forward margin 47 bonded to the lower surface of the connector block, generally in accordance with existing PCMCIA card design.
- the ground leads extending rearwardly from the ground plate are so shaped to allow a frame cross beam to fit between the ground leads and the cover.
- This allows the cross beam of the frame to support the forward margin of the top cover panel, insulate the top cover panel from the connector ground elements and close off the space between the rear side of the connector and the forward edge of the top cover panel.
- the ground plate has been shortened laterally thereby exposing end shoulders along the upper surface of the connector to allow forwardly extending end tabs of the top cover panel to overlap, and be bonded to, the end shoulders of the connector to close off gaps between the top cover panel and the lateral ends of the connector.
