Abstract
An electronic cartridge. The cartridge may include a first cover and a second cover that are adjacent to a substrate. One or more integrated circuit packages may be mounted to the substrate. The cartridge may include a pin that extends from the first cover and which has a barb that is embedded into the second cover. The embedded barb will damage the second cover if the cover is removed from the cartridge. The present invention thus prevents the removal and re-installation of the cover from the cartridge.
