ABSTRACT:
An electronic card (10) has a housing (12) containing integrated circuitry. On a surface (14) of the card are contact pads (26, 28) connected to the internal circuitry. The contact pads are covered by a movable shield (32). An electrical connector assembly (50) mounted on a printed circuit board (52) includes a base member (56) having contact members (62, 64) in contact with contact pads (54) on the printed circuit board. The connector assembly further includes a hollow casing (66) pivotably mounted on the base member (56). The electronic card (10) is inserted within the casing (66), which is arranged to move the shield (32) so as to expose the contact pads (26, 28) of the card (10). The casing (66) holding the card (10) is then pivoted so that the contact pads (26, 28) of the card (10) engage the contact members (62, 68). A latch member (112) is provided for maintaining the contact pads in engagement with the contact members.
