<p>A card reader (20) includes a housing (22), a plurality of resilient connector elements (70) disposed along the bottom wall (28) of the housing (22) and adapted to establish electrical connection between contact pads (104) of a circuit board (102) and contact pads (96) of a card (90) inserted into a card-receiving slot (40) of the reader (20), a horizontal plate (42) slidably mounted within the housing (22), and an actuator (54) for moving the plate (42). The horizontal plate (42) is proximate the top surface of the housing (22) and is movable upon actuation toward a card (90) inserted into the card receiving slot (40) beneath the plate (42) to exert pressure on and moving the card (90) toward the bottom wall (28) to effect electrical engagement between the contact pads (96) of the card (90) and the resilient connector elements (70) that, in turn, engage the contact pads (104) of the board (102).</p> |
