Patent ID: 7554189

Claim:
A wireless communication module comprising: a module board including a module substrate having opposite first and second surfaces, a plurality of conductive pads formed apart on said first surface, and a first electronic component mounted to said second surface; a carrier stacked to said module board and having opposite first and second surfaces and a peripheral end that has a peripheral end face extending between said first and second surfaces of said carrier, said first surfaces of said carrier and said module substrate facing each other, said carrier being formed with a plurality of spaced apart grooves indented inwardly from said peripheral end face and extending between and terminated at said first and second surfaces of said carrier, each of said grooves being defined by a groove-defining wall; a plurality of spaced apart first conductive contacts, each of which is formed on said first surface of said carrier, is terminated at said groove-defining wall of a respective one of said grooves, and contacts a respective one of said module contacts; a plurality of spaced apart second conductive contacts, each of which is formed on said second surface of said carrier and is terminated at said groove-defining wall of a respective one of said grooves; and a plurality of conductive leads, each of which is formed on said groove-defining wall of a respective one of said grooves and interconnects a respective one of said first conductive contacts and a respective one of said second conductive contacts.
