<p>The rear of a thin housing is provided with a jack (42A, 42B, Fig. 4) that can receive a multi-contact audio type plug (40) having a diameter that is more than half the thickness of the housing. The circuit board has a slot (60) that opens into the rear of the card. A U-shaped insulative block (80) is mounted on the card, with the opposite arms of the block lying at opposite sides of the board slot. Sheet metal contacts are mounted on the block and project into the slot in the circuit board, with each contact having a vertically-extending plug-engaging part (120) lying in the circuit board slot. The IC card includes a housing with a rear end cap (140) having a largely cylindrical passage (142A, 142B) that guides an audio-type plug into the slot in the circuit board to engage the contacts thereat. <IMAGE></p> |
