ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a receiver for a smart card (C) that has contact pads (P), including a printed circuit board (10), an electrical connector (14) mounted on the circuit board and holding contacts (18) for engaging the contact pads on the card, and a molded plastic cover (30) mounted on the circuit board and lying around the connector. The cover forms a card-receiving slot (38) for receiving a card in a fully-installed card position (A), including upper and lower slot walls (32, 44) that extend laterally (Q) across the entire width of the slot only at the front of the slot, with short runners (56, 58) extending along the opposite sides of the card along most of the slot length. The lower slot wall has a rear edge (46) that lies over a depressed front end of the body to closely position the cover with respect to the connector.
