CA 2267746

An electrical connector provides for the connection of the contact pads of an IC card to conductive elements of a printed circuit board. The connector includes a base supportable on the printed circuit board and at least one elastomeric element assembled within the base and aligned with upper and lower surfaces thereof. The base provides at least one retention tooth from which an IC card is easily withdrawn using a blunt implement, thereby obviating the need for a separate cover to retain the card in the device. The base also provides two additional fingers which bias inward against a side of a card and transversely apply forces on the card in order to annul the width differences among different cards. The elastomeric element is fabricated from a polymer which facilitates electrical interconnection between the element and the contacts on the SIM card. The elastomeric element replaces metal contacts which are widely utilized in conventional IC card readers. However, tine same holder can accommodate metal contacts for those manufacturers not yet employing elastomeric contact technology.
