Abstract

A holder for an integrated circuit card, such as a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, has a laterally extending non-conductive base. A pair of opposed abutments extend above the base. A first abutment of the pair of abutments is resilient such that a distance between the first abutment and a second abutment of the pair of abutments may be increased by urging the first abutment away from said second abutment. A first lip extends above the first abutment and projects toward the second abutment. A second lip extends above or from the second abutment and projects toward the first abutment. A plurality of resilient electrical contacts projects upwardly from said base between the pair of abutments.
