Abstract
A lead frame module to be incorporated in data carriers is presented which is divided into two areas, namely a central area receiving the sensitive components of the module, and an outer area protruding beyond the edge of the central area and serving to glue the lead frame module to the data carrier. To prevent forces from being transmitted from the outer area of the electronic module to the central area upon bending loads of the data carrier, the outer area is decoupled mechanically from the central area. This can be done for example by providing partial discontinuities including relieving punchings in the transition between the central and outer area.
