Abstract
A microcircuit card including an overall span of contacts including at least individual contact surfaces connected to this microcircuit while defining two parallel columns situated in proximity to two edges of the overall span, in a card body having a format at least equal to the 2FF format, in which there is made a pre-cutout in the 4FF format surrounding the overall span of contacts and a pre-cutout in the 3FF format surrounding the pre-cutout in the 4FF format, these pre-cutouts being such that the individual contact surfaces have, with respect to each of the pre-cutouts, positions and dimensions such that they encompass the theoretical contact zones defined by the standards defining these 4FF, 3FF and 2FF formats, the upper edge of the pre-cutout in the 3FF format being situated at a distance at least equal to 400 micrometers from the upper edge of the pre-cutout in the 4FF format.
