ABSTRACT:
An improved receptacle for a key-like device containing an embedded electronic circuit component with electrical leads extending to the surface of the key to form electrical contact areas thereon. The receptacle defines a keyway in which a plurality of exposed contact pins are positioned and spaced inside the receptacle to correspond to the spacing of the electrical contact areas on the key-like device for mating therewith upon insertion of the key device. The receptacle includes a protection sleeve which functions as a guard means for the contact pins. The receptacle is designed to be combined with a printed circuit board by insertion of the outer ends of the contact pins, wich extend through and out of a side of the receptacle, into the circuit board. The contact pins may be received into a variety of predetermined patterns of connectors on the circuit board facilitating electrical connection of the receptacle contact pins to a variety of standardized electrical connectors. Wave soldering may be used to attach the receptacle contact pins to the printed circuit board.
