Abstract
In a module base unit (1) for a module (30) for a data carrier, two connection plates (2, 3) are provided, which comprise electrically conductive material and which each have a direction of extent (4, 5) and which are separated from each other by a gap (16) transverse to the two directions of extent (4, 5), and at least one strain relief member (34) is connected to the two connection plates (2, 3), which strain relief member (34) is constructed to absorb tensile forces occurring parallel to the directions of extent (4, 5) and acting on the connection plates (2, 3).
Claims15
A module base unit for a module for a data carrier, the module base unit comprising:
- first and second connection plates that comprise an electrically conductive material, wherein the first and second connection plates are aligned with each other to have a common direction of extent, and are separated mechanically and electrically from each other by a generally L-shaped gap having a first section in the direction of extent and a second and a third section transverse to the direction of extent;
- and
- a strain relief plate connected to the first and second connection plates, wherein the stress relief plate is formed of one of group consisting of a glass reinforced fiber, an epoxy resin and a metal electrically isolated from the first and second connection plates by an insulating adhesive, and wherein the stress relief plate is connected to the first and the second connection plates by structure such that the strain relief plate absorbs tensile forces occurring parallel to the direction of extent and acting on the first and second connection plates.
A module base unit for a module for a data carrier, the module base unit comprising:
- a first connection plate and a second connection plate, each comprising an electrically conductive material, wherein the first and the second connection plates each have a direction of extent, are aligned relative to each other with their respective directions of extent, and are separated mechanically and electrically from each other by a gap transverse to the two directions of extent;
- and
- two planar strain relief strips, each planar strain relief strip having at least two tabs projecting transversely to the plane of the two planar strain relief strips, one of the two tabs connected to the first connection plate and one of the two tabs connected to the second connection plate, wherein the two planar strain relief strips absorb tensile forces occurring parallel to the directions of extent and acting on the first and second connection plates.
A module base unit for a module for a data carrier, the module base unit comprising:
- a first connection plate and a second connection plate, each comprising an electrically conductive material, wherein the first and the second connection plates each have a direction of extent, are aligned relative to each other with their respective directions of extent, are separated mechanically and electrically from each other by a gap transverse to the two directions of extent, and an upper surface of an end of the first connection plate proximal to the gap;
- and
- a planar strain relief ring arranged on the planar support surface, the planar strain relief ring having at least a first pin and a second pin, each projecting transversely to the plane of the planar relief ring, the first pin connected to the first connection plate and the second pin connected to the second connection plate whereby the relief ring absorbs tensile forces occurring parallel to the directions of extent and acting on the first and second connection plates.
