Claim:
A method for making in a mold cavity a digital memory card including a printed circuit board substrate and a memory package enclosing a memory integrated circuit, said memory package having first and second rows of leads electrically connected to the substrate, said method comprising the steps of: locating a first runner gate opening above the first of said first and second rows of leads of the memory package, and locating a second runner gate opening above the second of the first and second rows of leads of the memory package; injecting a resin material into the mold cavity by way of said first and second runner gate openings to completely surround the memory package and form a cover over the top thereof, such that the resin flows downwardly into the mold cavity so that said first and second rows of leads of the memory package are covered at the same time; and curing the resin material to form an integral solid mold body within which the memory package is fully encapsulated and covered.
