ABSTRACT:
A sheet metal cover (11) for a PC card, or electronic card, includes identical top and bottom sheet metal cover parts (13, 12) with opposite sides constructed to allow the cover parts to be joined together by merely pushing the sides of the top cover part forcefully down against the sides of the bottom cover part. One side (23) of each cover part is bent and cut to form a plurality of latching lugs (37), and the other side (24) of each cover part is bent and cut to form a plurality of slots leading to recesses that each receives a lug and then resists movement of the lug out of the recess. Each lug has outer and inner legs (38, 39) that are joined in a fold of less than 90°. The slots each receives a lug only when the inner and outer legs of the lug are deflected closer together.
