ABSTRACT:
A PC card includes a circuit board having an electrical component mounted on the face thereof and an I/O connector coupled to an end thereof. The circuit board is enclosed by a metal casing. The casing includes a top cover having a pair of sidewalls projecting from the sides thereof. Each top sidewall has an outside face with an engagement shelf projecting therefrom. The base cover includes a pair of bottom sidewall projecting at opposing sides thereof. Each of the bottom sidewalls has an inside face with an engagement ridge projecting therefrom. The bottom sidewalls are configured such that the locking ridges engage the shelf when the top cover and base cover are pressed together with the circuit board positioned therebetween. Projecting from the inside face of the top cover is a shield wall encircling a heat sink. The shield wall encircles the component on the circuit board when the top and base cover are attached together.
