Abstract

A memory module assembly comprises a memory card having a circuit board and a number of electronic components mounted on the circuit board, a pair of shells attached on opposite surfaces of the circuit board and a pair of clips securing the card and the shells together. The circuit board forms a grounding pad around three edges thereof. Correspondingly, each shell has an electrically conductive area contacting the grounding pad of the circuit board for preventing electromagnetic interference. The circuit board forms a number of openings, and each shell have a number of projections and apertures corresponding to the openings of the circuit board. The shells are positioned on the card with the projections of one shell received in the openings of the circuit board and apertures of the other shell. The clips secure the card and the shells together.
