ABSTRACT:
An electronic assembly for connecting to an electronic system is disclosed which includes, in one embodiment, a connector having a group of contacts, each contact having a mating portion and an interconnect finger. A first circuitry module includes a group of leads providing a signal path to electronic components contained therewithin, wherein each of the leads is coupled directly to an interconnect finger of a corresponding one of the group of connector contacts. A protective body is rigidly coupled to the first connector and is formed to encase the first circuitry module and to provide support and protection to the circuitry module. In another embodiment suitable for a PCMCIA card assembly, each of a group of leads of a leaded chip-carrier module is directly connected to interconnect fingers of the connector. All the electronic circuitry of the electronic assembly is contained within the leaded chip-carrier, which affords a manufacturing cost of the PCMCIA card assembly which is leveraged by semiconductor assembly advances rather than driven largely by traditional surface mount technology (SMT) on printed wiring boards (PWB).
