ABSTRACT:
An identification card having an IC module for the processing of electrical signals. The IC module (9) and the leads (6) and contact surfaces (5,20) necessary for the operation of the module are attached to a separate carrier (7,17) and embedded in the identification card in such a way that the IC module is located in an area (4) of the card having the maximally permitted thickness, whereas the contact surfaces are arranged outside this area. The placement of the IC module in the elevated card area (e.g. the impressing area) allows for a thicker encapsulation of the module and correspondingly better protection against mechanical stress. On the other hand, the area of the carrier element with the contact surfaces is arranged outside the elevated area of the card, for example in the magnetic stripe area (2). As the carrier element can be designed so as to be very thin in the area of the contact surfaces, its incorporation in the area of the magnetic stripe (3) of the card presents no problems of production whatsoever. This unproblematic incorporation of the thinly designed contact surface or lead area, which is arranged on the carrier element separated from the IC module, finally allows for a very variable design of the contact surfaces, as far as their dimensions and their position on the identification card are concerned.
