Kontaktiereinheit für kartenförmige Trägerelemente

摘要

The system includes an IC card module (1) containing electronic circuitry used as a memory expansion card or modem card. The card has an access point to allow use with an inserted smart card (2). Within the module is a printed circuit board that has a set of contacts at the rear. The smart card is inserted through the front access slot (4) and when fully inserted the contact pad (13) of the smart card engages that of the module to establish a communication path. The module is constructed such that the cover (8) and base can be separated.
