Abstract

A memory card casing is composed of a top cover having multiple through holes defined in a peripheral edge of the top cover, and a bottom cover, wherein the bottom cover has multiple longitudinal ridges formed on a peripheral edge of the bottom cover, a first rib formed on the bottom cover to connect to one end of each of the longitudinal ridges and a second rib formed on the bottom cover to connect to the other end of each of the longitudinal ridges so that after a printed circuit board is inserted into a receiving space between the bottom cover and the top cover, contacts on the printed circuit board are exposed via the through holes of the top cover and fully supported by the longitudinal ridges.
