Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a memory card, the method comprising: forming a first printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) including a substantially rectangular printed circuit board (PCB) substrate having opposing upper and lower surfaces, opposing front and back edges and opposing first and second side edges extending between the front and back edges, and a plurality of connecting segments integrally formed with the PCB substrate, each connecting segment extending perpendicular to an associated one of the front edge, the back edge, the first side edge, and the second side edge; positioning the first PCBA into a cavity of a mold assembly such that each of the connecting segments is received in a corresponding groove formed in side walls surrounding the cavity, and such that when the mold assembly is closed the first PCBA is suspended inside of the cavity; and injecting molten plastic into the cavity such that a plastic casing is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the first PCBA.
