Foldable electrical connector-housing system and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

A method of manufacture of a foldable electrical connector-housing system includes: providing a first end panel having an outer first end panel side with first end panel contacts that substantially span from one edge of the outer first end panel side to an opposite edge of the outer first end panel side; providing a second end panel having an outer second end panel side, the second end panel and the first end panel with the outer second end panel side facing away from the outer first end panel side and the first end panel contacts exposed in a folded configuration; mounting an electronic component between the outer first end panel side and the outer second end panel side; and connecting a conductor to the first end panel contacts and the electronic component.

主权项

1. A data storage device comprising:
storage circuitry configured to store data; a substantially planar card comprising a first portion, an additional portion, a guide marking a boundary between the first portion and the additional portion, and the storage circuitry; and an electrical interface electrically connected to the storage circuitry and located on a first face of the first portion of the card; and wherein the card is configured so that if the first portion is folded along the guide with respect to the additional portion so that the portions are directly below the electrical interface, and the first portion and the additional portion are parallel to each other, a combined thickness of the first portion and the additional portion is sufficient to make contact with both an electrical interface of a communications receptacle and a shell portion of the communications receptacle when the folded card is inserted into the communications receptacle, the combined thickness is based on a thickness of the first portion and a thickness of the additional portion.
