<p>A data carrier (1) includes an IC module (3), which comprises a substrate means (4), and a conductor configuration (5) connected to the substrate means (4), and an IC (2) connected to the substrate means (4), and connecting leads (10, 11) between the conductor configuration (5) and the IC (2), and a cover (12) of an electrically insulating material, which cover (12) shrouds the IC (2) and the connecting leads (10, 11) and the portions (13, 14, 15) of the conductor configuration (5), the data carrier (1) being equipped with a protection means (20) that provides protection against damage to at least a part of the IC module (3) when the IC module (3) is bent or twisted, which protection means (20) forms a part of the IC module (3), consists of a ductile material, and is formed by a layer-shaped, preferably net-like, cap which is encased in the cover (12) up to the substrate means (4).</p> |
