Abstract

A board connector for an "miniboard" IC cards, including a planar base incorporating electrical contact elements having first ends extending beyond the front and rear edges of the base, and second ends projecting above its upper surface. A cover housing an IC card is pivotably hinged to the base and contains insertion slide tracks for the card. The base and the cover include corresponding latching elements to keep them in closed card-connection position. These latching elements are disconnected by applying pressure on an edge of the cover parallel to its axis of pivoting.
