Abstract
Provided are transaction cards including an expanded identification ship. In some approaches, a transaction card may include a body having a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein the body defines an outer perimeter including a first end perimeter opposite a second end perimeter, and a first side perimeter opposite a second side perimeter. The transaction card may further include an identification chip having a plurality of contacts, wherein a first contact of the plurality of contacts extends to at least one of the following: the first end perimeter, the second end perimeter, the first side perimeter, and the second side perimeter.
Claims20
A transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein the body defines an outermost perimeter including a first end perimeter opposite a second end perimeter, and a first side perimeter opposite a second side perimeter;
- and
- an identification chip comprising a plurality of contacts, wherein a first contact of the plurality of contacts extends entirely to the first end perimeter and the second side perimeter, and a second contact of the plurality of contacts extends entirely to the second end perimeter and the first side perimeter, and wherein the first contact is separated from the second contact by a non-conductive area of the first main side.
A transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein the body defines an outermost perimeter including a first end perimeter opposite a second end perimeter, and a first side perimeter opposite a second side perimeter;
- and
- an identification chip along the first main side, the identification chip comprising a plurality of contacts, wherein a first contact of the plurality of contacts extends along the first main side entirely to the first end perimeter, and a second contact of the plurality of contacts extends along the first main side entirely to at least one of the following:
- the second end perimeter, the first side perimeter, and the second side perimeter, and wherein the first contact is separated from the second contact by a by a non-conductive area of the first main side.
A transaction card, comprising:
- a body comprising a first main side opposite a second main side, wherein the body defines an outermost perimeter including a first end perimeter opposite a second end perimeter and a first side perimeter opposite a second side perimeter;
- and
- an identification chip comprising a plurality of contacts, wherein the identification chip is part of an outer layer along the first main side, and wherein a first contact of the plurality of contacts extends entirely to the first side perimeter, and a second contact of the plurality of contacts extends entirely to at least one of the following:
- the first end perimeter, the second end perimeter, the first side perimeter, and the second side perimeter, and wherein the first contact is separated from the second contact by a non-conductive area of the first main side.
