Claims21
A smart card module, comprising:
- a microchip;
- a cover and a base laminated onto one another to form a sealed and permanent encapsulation of the microchip from all sides, the base having a first electrical connection to which an active side of the microchip is fitted and for making electrical contact with the microchip;
- and
- a substrate comprising a mounting surface to which the base of the encapsulation is permanently and fixedly fitted, and a second electrical connection which electrically connects the microchip to contacts of a contact zone disposed on an opposite surface of the substrate as the mounting surface, the second electrical connection extending from the mounting surface to the opposite surface of the substrate.
