Abstract
A card-receiving device for a communication apparatus, such as a handheld device or a personal computer card, receives a circuit card, such as a SIM-card. The device includes a body member having a card-receiving portion, a guide that allows movement of the body member to be performed in relation to a printed circuit board of the communication apparatus, and a switch for controlling an electric circuit interfacing and/or powering the circuit card. The switch includes a first contacting mechanism adapted to directly contact a second contacting mechanism of the printed circuit board for enabling the electric circuit.
