Patent ID: 7201327

Claim:
A memory card, comprising: a die paddle having opposed, generally planar first and second die paddle surfaces and multiple peripheral edge segments; a plurality of contacts disposed along and in spaced relation to one of the peripheral edge segments of the die paddle, each of the contacts having opposed, generally planar first and second contact surfaces; an inner body partially encapsulating the die paddle and the contacts, the inner body having opposed, generally planar first and second inner body surfaces, the first die paddle surface and the first contact surface of each of the contacts being exposed in and substantially flush with the first inner body surface, with the second contact surface of each of the contacts being exposed in the second inner body surface; at least one electronic circuit element attached to the first die paddle surface and electrically connected to at least one of the contacts; and an outer body partially encapsulating the inner body such that the first contact surface of each of the contacts, the first die paddle surface, the electronic circuit element, and the first inner body surface are covered by the outer body, and the second inner body surface is exposed in the outer body.
