A PCMCIA card structure includes a front connector, a frame, a substrate, and a sheet metal cover having a top cover panel. A ground plate having rearwardly extending ground contacts is carried on the upper surface of the connector. The frame includes an insulative cross beam disposed adjacent to the rear of the connector, the cross beam serving to support the top cover panel of the card, to prevent the top cover panel from contacting the connector ground plate or the contacts extending from the ground plate, and, along with portions of the ground plate, to close off the space between the connector and the front edge of the top cover panel. The ground plate has a transverse length shorter than that of the connector, thereby defining end shoulder surfaces along the upper surface of the connector. The top cover panel includes a pair of laterally spaced, forwardly extending tabs, each tab overlying an end shoulder surface on the connector. |
