Abstract

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory card includes a tube metal housing that is rectangularly-shaped and a Chip-On-Board (COB)-Universal Serial Bus (USB) device and a carrier substrate having a U-block disposed on one side of thereof and vertically extending upwardly from a bottom surface of the U-block, the COB-USB device positioned on the carrier substrate forming a USB card sub-assembly, the USB card sub-assembly being securely located inside the metal housing with the U-block serving to stop the COB-USB device from slipping out of the metal housing.

Claims

1. A Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory card comprising:

tube metal housing that is rectangularly-shaped;

Chip-On-Board (COB)-Universal Serial Bus (USB) device;

carrier substrate carrier substrate having a U-block disposed on one side of thereof and vertically extending upwardly from a bottom surface of the U-block;

a 204 positioned between the carrier substrate and the COB-USB device, causing the COB-USB device to be thermally taped to the carrier substrate when heated, the carrier substrate and the COB-USB device forming a USB card sub-assembly, the USB card sub-assembly being securely located inside the metal housing with the U-block serving to stop the COB-USB device from slipping out of the metal housing.

2. A USB memory card, as recited in claim 1, wherein the COB-USB device is a single chip.
