Abstract
A module is described for use in data devices such as smart cards. The module consists of a contact carrier having contacts, an integrated circuit, and a base enclosing the integrated circuit. The base is formed to provide a groove around the perimeter such that when the device is formed, material from an intermediate layer will flow into the groove and secure the module to the card.
