ABSTRACT:
A Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) device includes a PCBA mounted inside a plastic housing molded from a hard plastic (e.g., PC), and includes a handle portion mounted over a body section of the PCBA, and a plug support portion that is snap-coupled onto the housing and disposed under a plug section of the PCBA. The plug shell portion of the housing is integrally connected to (i.e., molded at the same time as or connected by way of molding to) the handle portion, and combines with the plug support structure extending under the plug section of the PCBA to form a structural arrangement similar to a conventional male USB connector plug that allows access to metal contacts formed on the PCBA, but without having the plug shell soldered to the PCBA.
