Chip card with a chip module e.g. health insurance card or cash or credit card or access card etc.

摘要

The chip card has a chip module (2). This is embedded in a recess in the card body (1) releasing a circumferential ridge between the chip module and the card body. The module is made up of two parts. A first part has electrically conductive contact surfaces arranged on a plastic substrate. A second part is in the form of a molded housing which receives the chip and the chip connection pins. The first part extends beyond the edge of the second part. The chip module is fixed in the body recess by an adhesive (3). The adhesive is photoluminescent and extends at least partly into the region of the circumferential ridge. Independent claims also cover a method of manufacturing the chip card.
