A PC card frame kit for housing a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) including a board (PCB) and a connector mounted on a back edge of the PCB. The frame kit includes a frame including first and second parallel side rails and an end rail extending between first ends of the first and second side rails. The frame defines an open end and a longitudinal slot for slidably receiving the PCB. Side panels of the PC card frame kit are then snap-coupled onto the frame.
