Microcircuit card i.e. identification card, for use in mobile network, has two external contact interfaces defining two surfaces formed on body, so that surfaces coincide partially along vertical direction

摘要

The card (10) has a card body (12) bearing an external contact interface (14A). The external contact interface is positioned on the card body to define reading configuration by an external device i.e. mobile terminal such as portable telephone. Another external contact interface (14B) is positioned on the card body to define another reading configuration. The interfaces define two surfaces formed on the card body, so that the surfaces coincide partially along vertical direction. Each interface includes two rows of electrical contact pads (16).
