ABSTRACT:
Input/output memory cards for use with computers and computer-related equipment. The cards (10) comprise connectors (40) adapted to mate with a printed circuit board (30) interfacing data from the printed circuit board to an outside environment which will utilize the memory card, lateral receiving pockets (50) on a frame (20) in the memory card for locking the connector to the frame and providing structural integrity to the memory cards, and interlocking tabs (60) integrally disposed on the connector and further adapted to mechanically interface with the lateral receiving pockets (50) for securely locking the connector to the frame and providing structural integrity to the memory card when the connector is mounted to the printed circuit board and mated to the frame. Memory cards in accordance with the present invention have significantly improved structural integrity as compared to prior memory cards. The cards are therefore rugged and easily interchangeable with a variety of different computers and computer-related equipment, thereby reducing the overall cost to users of the memory cards.
