Abstract
A smart card connector has a card-receiving cavity with a recess (194, FIG. 73) at the rear that receives the rear edge (152) of the card. A cover or flap is then pivoted down on the support element and slid forward to slide hooks (288, FIG. 27) at the front of the cover under shoulders (292) on the support element. The rear edge of the card extends along the length (A′, FIG. 45) of the card, so the distance from the open front of the connector to the recess (194) and card rear edge is equal to about the smaller width of the card.
