GENERAL DESCRIPTION
NEW IMPROVED FRAMELESS KIT FROM AVX/ELCO
EUROPE – 9180 SERIES
AVX/Elco introduce an improved PCMCIA frameless kit with
increased strength/torque. The design provides approximately 40 %
improvement in strength/torque than the previous version. Modifying
the AVX/Elco unique interlocking mechanism and increasing the
thickness of the metal covers have helped to achieve this. These
improvements will not compromise the printed circuit board (PCB)
space within the kit and therefore still offers the user the greatest PCB
board space available in the market.
Due to the improvements made to the interlocking mechanism the
assembly process has been simplified. The kit can now be assembled
by using a very simple and inexpensive bench press tool. The actual
assembly time, i.e. to assemble the kit will take approximately 20
seconds. Typically, a single tooling press can easily assemble in
excess of 340K kits per annum.
The kit can be modified to incorporate holes for Antenna, Slot for
SIM CARD reader and extended plastic bulge, hence the final product could be developed for specific applications such as WLAN
Card, Bluetooth Card, GPRS Card as well as Fax/modem cards.
The top/bottom covers offer excellent RF shielding at 2.4Ghz and at 5Ghz, and this product has been tested and approved to
IEEE802.11 by AVX/Elco end OEM customers.

• Bluetooth
• GPRS PC Cards
• WLAN
• Fax/modem
KEY FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
• The kit strength/torque has been improved by
approximately 40%.
• Greatest PCB board spacing available in the market
hence allowing Engineers to compact more
electronics.
• The kit can be assembled by using a very simple
bench press tool.
• Kit can be modified to incorporate plastic extension,
holes for LEDs and slots for SIM card reader.
• Top/bottom covers made from high grade stainless
steel, hence will offer excellent RF shielding at 2.4GHz
and at 5GHz.
