CN-116978410-B - Separation lug for entry of a debugger connector

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a breakaway tab for a debugger connector access. A memory enclosure is described that includes a debugger connector entry portion in the memory enclosure. The memory housing further includes a separation lug at least partially covering the debugger connector access portion. The memory housing further includes at least two anchor tabs connecting the separation lug to a portion of the memory housing surrounding the debugger connector access portion, the anchor tabs adapted to fracture upon application of a fracture force that causes the separation lug to separate from the memory housing and allows a debugger tool to access a debugger connector located inside the memory housing through an exterior of the memory housing.
