Abstract
A PC or CF (Compact Flash) card housing has housing halves (32, 34) that each includes a sheet metal shield (50, 70) with a main wall lying in a horizontal plane and with primarily vertical side walls (56, 58, 72, 74), with the side walls of the housing halves overlapping when the housing halves are assembled together. Each shield side wall includes dimples (90, 106) formed by deforming out areas of the sheet metal shield side wall. Each dimple has opposite faces respectively forming a recess and a projection. The recesses (108) of the top housing side walls receive projections (94) of the bottom housing side walls to lock the housing halves together when one is pushed vertically into the other. The dimples have opposite sides (140, 142) connected by bends to surrounding sheet metal, and have lower ends (130, 144) severed from surrounding sheet metal. Each housing half also includes a molded plastic body (62, 80) molded to the side walls of the sheet metal shield, at side wall surfaces opposite the active sides that form interlocking recesses and projections.
