ABSTRACT:
A pluggable cartridge is disclosed for housing electronic components and for insertion into a cavity of a using device, such as a telephone or video game apparatus, having a recessed electrical connector. The cartridge comprises first and second dielectric structures which when joined together form a seam. The seam is arranged to be fully inserted into the cavity before electrical contact is established between the electronic components of the cartridge and the recessed connector.
In a second embodiment of the invention, a single dielectric enclosure is utilized having an opening at one end only. A circuit board including a female dielectric connector mounted at one end is arranged to attach to the enclosure and thereby provide an inexpensive cartridge. Each disclosed embodiment offers improved electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in minimal space.
