Support for inclusion into identity cards.

摘要

A support with one or several ICs for inclusion in an identity or credit card is described. The support consists of a substrate, on the surface of which several contact areas are arranged which are connected via conductor tracks to corresponding connecting points of the IC arranged on the substrate. The IC including the connections to the conductor tracks is protected against mechanical stresses by a cured casting compound. To prevent uncontrolled flowing away when the casting compound is applied, a recess is provided in the hot-melt adhesive layer applied on one side of the substrate, which recess retains the liquid resin during the application and acts as limiting frame. The recess in the adhesive layer is located at least in the area where the IC is to be arranged. ……
