A reader ( ) for a smart card (S) for a mobile telephone ( ) includes a baseplate ( ), carrying conducting contacts suitable for engaging with corresponding conducting contacts on the card (S), and a device for guiding and actuating the card (S) for translational movement thereof in a direction of installation (D ) of the card, between a card-gripping position in which the card is accessible and a use position in which the card (S) is held in place with respect to the baseplate ( ). The device for guiding and actuating the card includes a movable slide-in unit ( ) for supporting the card (S) and a device for immobilizing the card (S) in the direction of installation (D ). The slide-in unit ( ) slides with respect to the baseplate ( ) between an engaged position in which the card (S) is in a use position and a disengaged position in which the card (S) is in a gripping position.

A connector for a double-sided, printed circuit board. The connector has a body defining a housing for accommodating a microphone module, first conductors equipped with an area for electrical connection to a complementary connector and with an area for contact with a track on the first face of the board, and second conductors connecting the microphone to the board. The body has a space for accommodating the board, where the space is defined between the electrical connection areas of the first and second conductors. Each contact area of the second conductors is in contact with the second face of the board. The microphone module is arranged, with respect to the space for accommodating the board, on the same side as the areas for making contact between the second conductors and the board.

Connector for printed circuit and equipment which includes it

The card reader has a body ( ) defining a support area ( ) for a card equipped with contact terminals ( ). The body ( ) has, on one side of the support area ( ), tabs ( ), for holding the card, extending partly facing the support area ( ). The reader also has a lock, for retaining the card, which comprises a moving latch ( ) for retaining the card. This latch ( ) can move between a retaining position for said card and a release position for said card. The latch ( ) is an integral part of said body ( ).
