Abstract
An adapter electrically connects an integrated circuit mini-card in a main electronic integrated circuit memory card connector having greater space requirement than the mini-card. The mini-card has surface contact strips and the adapter includes a main body capable of being connected to the main connector and a housing for receiving the mini-card at the surface of the main body. The housing includes inside bond pads for connection to the electric contacts of the mini-card. A mobile cover is capable of taking up a position wherein it closes at least partly the housing while maintaining the mini-card in electrically connecting position in the housing and stiffening the structure of the adapter.
