Abstract

See full text

An IC card adapter includes a printed circuit board attached on a first edge to solder tails extending from a first connector and on an opposing second edge to solder tails extending from a second connector. The printed circuit board, first connector and second connector form a subassembly. The subassembly is provided with a first keyed interlock surface which mates with a second keyed interlock surface on a lower molded housing adapted to receive the subassembly. The first and second keyed interlock surfaces orient the subassembly and lower housing. The lower molded housing also includes a first latching member which snap-fits with a second latching member on an upper molded housing. When the lower and upper housings are engaged, they define a cavity which encloses the printed circuit board.
