ABSTRACT:
A Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) device includes a PCBA mounted inside a plastic housing molded from a hard plastic (e.g., PVC), and includes a handle portion mounted or molded over a body section of the PCBA, and a plug portion mounted or molded over a plug section of the PCBA. The plug portion of the housing is integrally connected to (i.e., molded at the same time as) the handle portion, and includes a plug substrate extending under the plug section of the PCBA and a plug shell that extends over the plug portion, forming 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.
