ABSTRACT:
A low profile smart card system comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) and a smart card connector assembly mounted to the PCB. The connector assembly comprises an L-shaped insulative housing, a number of sickle-shaped contacts and first and second switch terminals retained in the housing by way of insertion molding. Mating portions of the contacts and the switch terminals extend above a mating face of the housing. The housing forms several stands-off in a mounting face thereof. The PCB defines a receiving portion in accordance with shape of the connector assembly such that the connector assembly is swamped in the PCB with the stands-off thereof abutting against a bottom face of the PCB thereby obtaining a low profile above the PCB.
