Abstract:
Integrated circuit card comprising two external plates, a lower plate (12) and an upper plate (14), separated by at least one intermediate plate (16), electronic components connected to each other by conducting traces (36) on at least one plate, at least one switch (26) with two terminals to allow or prohibit passage of an electric current between the two terminals (34) that are connected to at least one of the traces (36), pushbutton (28) provided at one peripheral edge (40) of the card (10), which slides in a lengthwise direction in the plane of the card between an active and a resting position, and which controls a contact key (34) designed to connect the terminals (34) of switch (26) electrically, the pushbutton (28) of switch (26) being slidable mounted in a slot (38) formed in at least one of the intermediate plates (16), which terminates in the peripheral edge (40) of card (10), and whose two lengthwise edges (42), opposite each other, guide pushbutton (28).
