ABSTRACT:
A PC card has a sheet metal forward housing part (13) whose rear edge (36) is connected to a plastic molded rear extension part (14) before a sheet metal lower housing element (11) is connected to them, which enables simple coupling of the forward and rearward parts so the two of them can be handled prior to full assembly of the card. The rear edge of the sheet metal forward housing part includes a pair of side tabs (38, 39) at laterally opposite sides and a center tab (44) at the center. The plastic molded part has a front edge portion (110) with a pair of vertical slots (28, 29) at opposite sides for receiving the side tabs, and with a groove (36) at the middle for receiving the center tab. With the plastic molded part lying horizontal, the sheet metal forward part is held in a vertical plane with the side tabs projecting down into the side slots and the center tab lying in the center recess. The sheet metal forward part is then pivoted down, causing the side tabs to bend about 90.degree., and causing the center tab to slide under the front edge portion of the plastic part, thereby temporarily locking the housing parts together.
