DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a portable electronic component, and _ refers to a portable electronic component using a general-purpose serial bus (USB) specification. [Prior Art] The combination of several rapid development technologies has enabled the small portable memory card to have a considerable capacity for dogs. For example, the call (4) technology that can electrically erase the programmable read-only memory (Li Wei m) enables the chip to store mMB or good material. The small flash memory card has a - connector that can be plugged into a dedicated (eg cf, SD, MS or other standard format) card reader. -: In recent years, the commercially available flash memory card also has a coffee connector. This type of leg-type flash memory card ^; requires a dedicated card reader, Lang · is inserted in the - host system (such as PC) - USB socket connector. This USB type memory card can be used instead of a floppy disk. Although the USB flash memory card does not have a large stamp, the memory capacity is more than dozens of floppy disks. The twenty-second eight figure shows a conventional flash memory card with a standard male connector. The flash memory chip 12 may be a 12-dirty or other non-volatile wafer, and the control (9) (4) includes a flash memory controller for accessing the memory locations within the flash memory chip 12. The controller chip 14 can also include a clear interface controller for continuously transmitting or receiving data over a USB connection. The male USB connector 20 is mounted on a board 1 which is a small circuit board provided with wafers 12 8 1 291 793 and 14. Multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) technology can also be applied to board 1〇. A plastic box (not shown) can be wrapped around the board. The male USB connector 20 includes a small connector base 16, typically white ceramic, black hard plastic, or other hard m substrate. Four or more metal connections are formed on the connector base 16. The metal connection system carries the duty signal generated or received by the relay crystal w4. USB signals include power, ground, and differential data lines. The male USB connector 20 includes a metal plug sleeve u, and the plug #11 covers the connector base 16. The plug sleeve contacts the three sides of the connector base 16. The top side of the connector base 16 supports the metal contacts 18 and has a large gap between the plug sleeves. Further, the metal plug sleeve 11 has a hole 15 at the top and bottom. The USB connector 2 is an A-type standard usb connector. The twenty-second B diagram shows the female USB receptacle connector 22. The female USB receptacle connector 22 can be part of a personal computer or a host system, or can be connected to the host system via the cable 21. The other connector substrate 2β has four metal contacts 28 which are electrically connected to the four metal contacts 18 of the male USB connector 20 of Fig. 22A. The connector base 26 is covered by a metal socket and has a small gap between the lower three sides of the connection base 26 and the metal socket. A metal spring 24 located at the top and bottom of the metal socket is used to provide a securing effect. When the male USB connector 20 of the twenty-second figure is flipped and inserted into the female USB receptacle connector 22 of the second figure B, the metal spring 24 can catch the hole 15 of the male USB connector 2〇. 1291793 * Figure 23A and Figure 23b show the connection between the male and female connectors. The female USB receptacle connector 22 is on the left and the male USB connector is inserted from the right. Public _ connection!! Fine is from the buckle of the twenty-two. The metal contacts 18 are connected to the underlying surface of the USB ray 1 and the metal contacts 28 are located on the upper surface of the connection n substrate 26 of the pedestal H 22 . Therefore, these metal contacts face each other so that when the male USB connector 2 is inserted into the female USB receptacle connector 22 (as shown in Fig. 23), an electrical connection can be obtained. The metal spring 24 is located on the metal socket and is adapted to be inserted into a hole in the plug sleeve of the male USB connector 2A. This helps to connect the male and female connections together. When manufacturing a conventional USB component using a standard male USB plug connector, a problem arises in that a soldering method with a complete error is required (10) a fresh copper structure (for example, the substrate 16 and the plug sleeve (1) are mounted on the circuit board 1 (). The wrong (pb) is a known hazardous substance 'and may be banned after a certain pin point in the future. * And the error-free solder requires a higher temperature (_read) degree), which can cause the substrate to be returned. Produces shrinkage or deformation. Therefore, this kind of plug connector is not suitable for the error-free manufacturing process. Μ The twenty-fourth figure shows the conventional threat flash memory card, which uses the small wheel corridor USB connector, which integrates the male USB connection into the board and saves the metal plug sleeve. Then f install the fresh male connector to the board. The board 32-series-PCB' and its upper surface (i.e., the same side with metal contacts) are provided with a flashing button (9) 12. The board 32 extends to cover the joint 1291793. The connector 30 has a metal contact 38 at one end 36 of the board 32. The visibility and end of the end of the panel 32 is calculated to be closely matched to the width of the connection of the crying base 16 of the twenty-second A diagram. The face gauge can include the Longzi 32, but provides an open soil for exposing the metal joint 38. The plastic case 34 can cover the bottom and side of the male USB connector 3'' to the end 36' to emulate the metal plug sleeve of the male connector of the twenty-fifth figure. The twenty-fifth and twenty-fifth diagrams show a cross-sectional view of the conventional small wheel cradle connector inserted into the standard female USB connector. The end portion 36 of the board 32 is formed with a male USB connection ' and the board is turned over from the direction shown in the twenty-fourth figure, and the end portion 36 is inserted into the female USB socket connector 22 from the right side. Metal contacts 38 are located on the lower surface of male USB connector 30. The plastic case 34 has an opening ' and this opening is located on the lower surface of the male (four) connector 3〇 to expose the metal contacts. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 25B, when inserted, the metal contact power is connected to the mother USB to connect the metal on the upper surface of the H substrate 26. The contact 28. The plastic case 34 can be filled into the gap between the top edge of the metal socket cover of the board 32 and the female USB socket connector 22. However, since the plastic case 34 does not have any holes, when the male USB connector 30 is inserted into the female coffee receptacle connector 22, the metal elastic % is pushed up slightly. The plastic case 34 is also formed along the thin side edges of the board 32 and can be filled into the gap between the connector base 26 and the side of the metal socket of the female USB receptacle connector 22, these gaps are located in the twenty-fifth B Above and below the plane of the figure. Although the male USB connector 30 can be less expensive and can be smaller than the standard υςβ connector 1291793, and does not require a plug sleeve, it can cause unwanted shaking in the female socket connector and can be exposed. The metal replacement was damaged. For this reason, it is necessary to have a component having a shorter length and having a standard size male connector plug, and it is not necessary to solder the plug sleeve of the connector to a few pieces of the USB. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to an iUSB component in which a printed circuit board assembly • (10) A a thin bly) is disposed within a plastic cover structure such that the cover structure can be protectively located at the body of the PCBA The integrated circuit (10) surrounds the _, and the opening of one of the plug portions of the cover structure exposes the metal contacts on the PCBA. In addition, a plastic: plug sleeve is integrally formed on the plug portion, so that one of the plastic plug sleeves: the wall can extend to the plug portion, and the metal contact wire is exposed to the exposed portion of the pG company. On the plug cover (4) - bribe towel. A plug is attached to protect the exposed metal contacts and to facilitate a fixed connection to a host-female connector. By fixing the plastic plug to the plastic cover structure, it is not necessary to weld the metal plug sleeve to the p〇βΑ as in the conventional manufacturing method, thereby contributing to the manufacture of the error-free pCBA. In addition, the plastic cover structure includes a body-formed plastic plug sleeve, which helps to reduce costs. According to one aspect of the present invention, a USB controller 1 (: is at least partially disposed on a narrow PCB plug area of the pCM, and in a specific embodiment, is directly below the metal contacts for shortening the USB The length of the component. pcBA includes a printed circuit board (PCB), 1291793, a PCB main body (rear) area, and a narrower pcB plug (front) area.

In addition, suitable ICs (eg, ICs 130 and 135) can be used to modify the different USB component structures described herein for use as, for example, MP3 players (ie, music storage), digital cameras, and external storage for mobile phones. . In another embodiment, the USB component structure can also be used for wireless communication. In this example, a USB component (e.g., the Bluetooth usb adapter 900 shown in FIG. 11) can also be inserted into the USB port of a host component, and the USB component can also include a wireless communication component 935. The wireless communication component 935 can generate a wireless signal transmitted via a transceiver antenna 975. The transceiver antenna 975 can also be located at the trailing edge of the cover structure 950 for maximum signal transmission. The wireless communication component 935 communicates with a host (eg, a computer) by using a USB control IC 930, and further includes a Bluetooth controller, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a baseband controller, a memory (eg, an EEPROM), 8 27 1291793 Voltage regulator, - crystal, and a control circuit for control. As shown, these circuits can be combined with passive circuits (eg, resistors, capacitors, and inductors) to form a single wafer, or to form a separate wafer on the cerebral palsy. The upper cover is surrounded by the cover structure 950 and the plastic plug sleeve 96, wherein the cover structure 950 and the plastic plug sleeve 96 are coupled together in the manner described above. This layout facilitates communication between the host and wireless communication components (eg, Bluetooth components). Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows any electronic component to communicate wirelessly in the 24 GHz band. Bluetooth allows components (such as mobile phones, binaural headsets, PDAs, and computers) to communicate and transfer data to each other without the need to wire or wire each other. Bluetooth has been specifically designed for low-cost and low-power radio technologies, especially for short-range personal area networks (PANs). By plugging the Bluetooth USB Adapter 900 into a USB port, the Bluetooth USB Adapter enables a non-bluetooth electronic component (e.g., a host) to communicate with the Bluetooth component. One clear wireless application is the Bluetooth mouse component, which is currently used to move the cursor. Another application example is to enable computer users to communicate bi-directionally with mobile phones, PDAs, keyboards, printers, digital cameras, and MP3 players with Bluetooth wireless. It can also include the application of wireless binaural headphones. Other applications include Bluetooth wireless connectivity in the car, which means you can operate your mobile phone without a hand. Of course, other wireless communication protocols, such as IrDA infrared transmission elements, can also be applied to the USB components of the present invention. In addition to the hood structure defined in the various embodiments described above, those skilled in the art will
