Connection arrangement for a smart card with contacts in a read/write device and cap for this arrangement

摘要

The card (C) is inserted in a direction (I) substantially parallel to its own conductive tracks. The tracks are contacted by blades (18) protruding from the upper surface (20) of a connector (14) fixed to a circuit board (10). The hood (30) fixed to the board above the connector has a slot (38) bounded by its sidewalls (34) and top surface (32) to guide the card into position for readout or writing. The floor (40) of the slot has a central extension (44) ending at a wall (46) which overlaps a part of the connector.
