ABSTRACT:
A smart card reader (10,10') is provided for temporary electrical connection of a smart card (70) to a printed circuit board. The smart card reader (10,10') features a cover (14,14') which is hingeably mounted to a base (12) at a first end (28). The cover (14,14') is biased such that its bottom surface (26) is spaced apart from the base (12) at a second end (29). Card support projections (18) are formed from the cover (14,14') and act in combination with an actuator (20) which extends from the base (12) to draw the cover (14,14') towards the base (12) upon insertion of a smart card (70).
