ABSTRACT:
A PC card includes a board assembly enclosed by top and bottom covers. The board assembly includes a PC board with end housings on its opposite ends. A connector is mounted within one of the end housings and electrically interconnected to the PC board. Key-receiving slots extend through the opposite sides of the first and second end housings. Tracks on the opposite sides of the top and bottom covers form keyways extending between the key-receiving slots on the opposite sides of the board assembly. Elongated keys extend through the key-receiving slots of the end housings and through the keyways to secure the top and bottom covers to the board assembly. Releasable latches hold the keys within the keyways.
