Abstract
A dual probe card reader system accommodates Europay®, Mastercard®, and Visa® (EMV) cards in multiple orientations while retaining existing card reader footprints. The system includes a mechanism with two probes positioned to connect with EMV chips in different orientations when cards are facing up. The dual probe mechanism retains other existing card reader parts, enabling detection of EMV chips through either probe position. The system includes an updated probe printed circuit board and modified probe schematics to support both EMV positions. This technique provides enhanced compatibility with chip-based cards while minimizing replacement of existing card reader infrastructure through reuse of current device footprints.
