Abstract
A method of manufacturing a smartcard may include providing a flexible smartcard circuit, forming conductive extension members on and extend away from the flexible circuit from a high melting point solder material, and laminating the flexible circuit to form a smartcard body. A cavity is then milled in the smartcard body to expose the ends of the extension members, and a contact pad is inserted into the cavity and electrically connected to extension members using a low melting temperature tin-bismuth solder using ultrasonically soldering, so as to avoid heat damage to the card body.
