Abstract
An IC card of the type having a CardBus shield is disclosed in which the dielectric CardBus bridge behind the shield is provided with an upward projection that is positioned behind a front angular part of the top cover of the sheet metal enclosure for the card to support the cover. Preferably, the projection has a front angular surface that conforms to the configuration of the front angular part of the cover. The projection restricts flexural stresses applied to the card and improves environmental sealing of the card.
