ABSTRACT:
An electronic component assembly including a printed circuit board unit and a protective cover wherein the cover has flexible flap portions that protect electrical contact pads disposed along at least one edge of the printed circuit board unit. The flap portions can be flexed to expose the electrical contact pads. Removal of the flexing force allows the flaps to return to their relaxed, closed positon by means of the internal resiliency of the cover material. Such flexing of the flap portions can be effected by surfaces of a corresponding mating connector so as to expose the contact pads to the contact pins of the mating connector. When the electronic component assembly is removed from the mating connector, the printed circuit board unit is contained by (i.e., completely surrounded by) the cover thereby protecting the unit from physical impact or dust.
