ABSTRACT:
A PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) is disclosed which complies with the IEEE 1386 form factor specification and incorporates a PCMCIA card connector so that readily available PCMCIA cards can be used with a PMC. By removing approximately one-half of the usual PMC printed circuit board, space is created in which to mount the PCMCIA connector so that it is contained within the allowed component envelope above and below the surface of the PMC circuit board (4). The PCMCIA connector (10) is mounted by its leads to a tab (9) extending from circuit board (4). Side rails (15) having an s-shaped bend (18) extend from the circuit board (4) and provide mounting support for the bezel supports (2) thereby meeting the overall size requirements for PMC cards under the IEEE 1386 standard. The design of this invention also permits securing PCMCIA cards in the PCMCIA connector with set screws (21) that may be used to push in on extensions (13).
