PCT No. PCT/FR96/00428 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 30, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 30, 1997 PCT Filed Mar. 21, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/29672 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 26, 1996A connector (1) for an apparatus for reading smart card (C), having a body supporting brush contact elements (Bc1, Bcx) for electrically contacting the conductive pads of a chip on a card (C) inserted into the connector. The connector includes an electronic circuit connected to a least some of the brush contact elements (B) and connectable to the electronic circuit of the card reader. The electronic circuit on the connector includes an arrangement for controlling the insertion of the card (C) into the card reader and its withdrawal therefrom, and one of the brush contact elements (Bxc) is at a second predetermined potential and offset in relation to the other brush contact elements (Bc1) so that once the card (C) has been properly inserted into the connector, one of two events occurs when the card is withdrawn and before the other brush contact elements are disengaged from the conductive pads (C1) of the card (C) that they are contacting. Specifically, either the brush contact element (Bc1) at the predetermined potential and the brush contact element at a so-called earth potential are short-circuited, or the second potential varies with a magnitude no smaller than a predetermined threshold. |
