The card reader has a sliding plate (8) that moves between an open and a closed position. In the open position a small format smart card can be introduced into a recess provided to hold the card. In the closed position the sliding plate holds the small card in place and presses it against the reader contacts (4). The plate has an opening to allow passage of a connector when the small card is absent, allowing a large card to be fitted over the contacts. |
