Abstract:
A base film for modules of electronic devices, said base film including a linear film having on its sides at least one metal outer rail and patterns (5) of contact pads (9) arranged on the film, each pattern corresponding to a module. It is characterized in that a single contact pad (17) of each pattern (9) is linked to at least one rail (13, 15) by at least one metal track (19, 27). The invention also relates to a module producing method using the obtained base film and module.
Abstract:
The chip card comprises a card body (24) and an embedded chip module (14) having a plurality of contact fields (C1-C8) connected to respective terminals of the chip. The card body further comprises a positioning feature (28) adapted to univocally identify said contact fields according to their location and orientation on the card body. The positioning feature is a hole or a notch formed on the card body in an area including the chip module such as a contact field (C1-C8) which has no electrical functionality as contact field C6 according to ISO 7816-2. The invention is particularly adapted to card bodies including a plug-in removable portion of smaller size comprising said chip module and said positioning feature such as smaller size 'mini-plug' SIMs for mobile phones.
