Abstract
An improved method and a cassette assembly for protecting electronic components, comprising of a housing that encloses the electronic components disposed over an insulator. The housing also encases a scissor jack component that can move from a first to a second position to enable actuation and unmating of the cassette assembly, such as to a next level of packaging. The housing has an overhang design, having complementary upper openings and lower cable shroud areas for supporting cable connections and for providing heat dissipation relief and EMC containment. Alternate designs provide for other components such as a honey comb screen and an EMC gasket to further enable EMC containment. In addition, other components such as an actuation trap door, a retention feature and card support members or support struts can be added to the design to enable better actuation and provide for an improved structural rigidity.
