The module has the chip supported by a chip island (22) of a leadframe (20), with the external contacts (21) partially overlapped by the chip and lying in a common plane with one flat side of the module housing. The slits (23) of the leadframe defining the chip island extend at 45 degrees to the edges of the square or rectangular chip and to the possible fracture lines of the chip material which run parallel to the chip edges. The entire module is embedded in a plastics mass used for forming the chip card, with free access to the chip external contacts ensured via positioning contours provided by a projection of the lead frame projecting from the module housing. |
