Adapter for electrically connecting a miniature integrated circuit card in a memory card connector

An adaptor for the electrical connection of a mini-card having surface contacts to an external connector for an electronic memory card, said adaptor comprising a body having a main face on which are disposed conductive areas for contacting corresponding conductors of the external connector, said body comprising:

• a cavity for receiving a mini-card;
• a wall disposed in the dimension between an interior surface of said cavity and an exterior surface of said body;
• connecting pads that protrude beyond said interior surface into said cavity to engage the contacts of a mini-card inserted in said cavity, and
• conductive tracks disposed within said dimension, that directly extend in a one-to-one relationship from respective ones of said connecting pads to corresponding ones of said conductive areas on said main face to electrically connect the connecting pads to their corresponding conductive areas.

An adaptor for the electrical connection of a mini-card having surface contacts to an external connector for an electronic memory card, said adaptor comprising a body on which are disposed conductive areas for contacting corresponding conductors of the external connector, said body comprising:

• a cavity for receiving a mini-card;
• a wall having one side that defines an interior surface of said cavity and an opposite side that defines an exterior surface of said body;
• and
• connecting pads that protrude beyond said interior surface into said cavity to engage the contacts of a mini-card inserted in said cavity;
• wherein the wall is devoid of electronic components.
