PCMCIA electronics housing

Claim 1

An electronics housing that is compliant with a type II PCMCIA standard, the housing comprising in combination: a frame; a first cover, coupled to said frame, having an interior surface that is substantially planar and an interface surface that is disposed parallel to said interior surface and spaced at an offset dimension, said offset dimension conforming to the type II PCMCIA standard; a carrier, having a first side and a second side, said first side disposed adjacent to said interior surface and said second side substantially uniformly spaced from said first side by a thickness dimension and arranged to secure and inter couple an electronic circuit; a connector further including a body disposed adjacent to said interface surface and further including a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of openings, said first surface and said second surface disposed substantially perpendicular to said interface surface, said plurality of openings extending through said body from said first surface to said second surface, and a plurality of terminals each including a receptacle and an integral contact, said receptacle disposed within said opening, said integral contact extending from said second surface and formed to be mechanically coupled to said second side of said carrier; a second cover, coupled to said frame and spaced at a height dimension from said first cover, for enclosing and protecting said electronic circuit, said height dimension conforming to the type II PCMCIA standard.
