Abstract
A data transaction card having an interface for bi-directional contactless communication, and comprising a support ( ) having a cavity ( ) for accommodating therein a chip carrier therein module ( ). The chip carrier module comprises a substrate ( ) having a first side ( ) and a second side ( ), and an integrated circuit ( ) mounted on the first side of the substrate for managing functions of the data transaction card. A coil antenna ( ) is electrically connected to the integrated circuit for inductive coupling with remote antenna, connections to the coil antenna being accessible from the first side of the substrate. The chip carrier module is packaged into one discrete unit so as to be amenable to mechanical assembly of the data transaction card without requiring additional electrical connections between the support and the chip carrier module during or subsequent to assembly. Such a construction allows for efficient mass-production of the data transaction card.
