Abstract
A set of contact elements for use with a card comprising contact zones, including an insulating body having an upper surface and a bottom surface, reading contact elements inserted into the insulating body and extending with the contact regions beyond the upper surface of the insulating body, and at least one additional contact element located adjacent to one of the reading contact elements so as to form together therewith a card presence switch.
Claims19
A set of contact elements for use with a card comprising contact zones, said set comprising:
- an insulating body (11) having an upper surface (20) and a bottom surface (21),
- reading contact elements inserted into said insulating body (11) and extending with the contact regions beyond the upper surface (20) of the insulating body (11), and
- at least one additional contact element (15) located adjacent to one of said reading contact elements so as to form together therewith a card presence switch (40), wherein the additional contact element adapted for cooperation with one of said reading contact elements is a ground contact element.
A set of contact elements for engaging contact zones of a SIM-card, comprising:
- an insulating body (11) having an upper surface (20) and a bottom surface (21), contact chambers in said insulating bodies, contact elements snappingly located in said contact chambers and biased into a position where they extend with contact cusps beyond the upper surface, an additional switching contact element (15) forming together with one of said contact elements which are adapted for engagement with said contact zones, a card presence switch, and said additional contact element (15) is arranged such that it will be actuated only after the contact elements are in contact engagement with the contact zones of the SIM-card, wherein the additional contact element adapted for cooperation with one of said reading contact elements is a ground contact element.
