Abstract
A method for placing an electronic printed card in contact with contact elements in a housing receiving or surrounding card. The card is received in the housing and has a plurality of contact recesses. The contact elements have a first end on the outer side of the housing and a second end on the inner side of the housing, and each comprises, at the second end, a flexible extension capable of being positioned in a first rest position and a second contact position. In a first step the electronic printed card is positioned relative to the housing such that the two ends of the contact elements are located facing the contact recesses, the flexible extensions being positioned in their first position. Then the card is electrically contacted by the plurality of contact recesses and the flexible extensions of the second end of the contact elements, in their second position.
