A memory card assembly is provided having a one-piece construction including a cardedge receptacle for slidingly receiving the conductive fingers of a printed circuit board and providing for an electrical connection without soldering. The one-piece construction is achieved by the injection molding of an internal frame to capture the protruding edges of the top and bottom metallic covers. Sufficient normal force of the cardedge receptacle is maintained by a brace member.
