METHOD OF CONNECTING THE PARTS OF A MULTI-PART METAL CASING BY ADHESIVE

摘要

A method of connecting the parts of a multi-part metal casing such as a casing for PCMCIA-cards involves adhesive connection. A double sided adhesive foil is applied to the casing cover which is then pressed to a pre- assembled frame unit that carries a printed circuit board and a socket connector strip. Pressure is applied to the region of the cover adjoining the connector strip for a period of about 10 seconds to 5 minutes under a pressure within the range 0.5 to 2 N/mm2 and at a temperature within the range of about 120.degree. to 180.degree.C. Thereafter the resulting closed casing is cooled and removed from the pressing tool.
