An electronic circuit protection device includes a first receiving capable of receiving a first connector. The device also includes two pair of resilient contact arms electrically coupled to the first receiving portion. The contact arms are capable of receiving a second connector. The device electronically couples the first connector to the second connector when the first connector and the second connector are inserted into the device. The device provides protection from electrostatic discharge by providing an electrically conductive path to ground, which bypasses components, which may be harmed by resultant potentially harmful currents. In one embodiment, the device is compliant with PCMCIA and JEIDA standards.

A circuit board connection device and method for use in an assembly having a first portion and a second portion, wherein a first circuit board is contained within the first portion of the assembly and a second circuit board is contained within the second portion of the assembly. A flat cable is connected to the second circuit board. The flat cable is flexible, yet is rigid enough to support its own weight. Consequently, the flat cable extends upwardly from surface second circuit board and terminates at a free end. A flat cable connector is provided on the first circuit board. The flat cable connector is sized to receive the free end of the flat cable. An alignment collar is placed over the flat cable connector. The alignment collar receives the free end of the flat cable and guides the free end of the flat cable into the flat cable connector as the first portion of the assembly is assembled to the second portion of the assembly. If the free end of the flat cable is not aligned with the flat cable connector, the alignment collar realigns the flat cable to the proper orientation.

A circuit card enclosure formed of sheet metal with its top and bottom walls having integrally formed circuit card guides. The guides are lanced and formed projections extending inwardly from the top and bottom walls and are spaced from the respective walls by a distance satisfying regulatory requirements for sizes of opening in such enclosures. Additionally, the top and bottom walls have apertures for heat dissipation purposes which likewise satisfy the regulatory requirements. Thus, the enclosure does not require an additional top cover or shield.

Structure for mounting a circuit card to a sheet metal wall includes upper and lower standoffs formed integrally with the wall. Each upper standoff extends a predetermined distance from the wall and is adapted to receive and hold a fastening member. Each lower standoff is formed integrally with the wall and includes a projection portion extending the same predetermined distance away from the wall and a hook portion having a support portion extending away from the projecting portion and a securement portion extending upwardly from the support portion and spaced from the projecting portion by a distance equal substantially to the thickness of the circuit card. Accordingly, a lower edge of the circuit card is supported by each lower standoff hook portion and fastening members are extended through holes in the circuit card to threadedly engage the upper standoffs.
