Patent ID: 8488310

Claim:
A thin data storage device ( 1 ), comprising: At least an integrated circuit module ( 10 ) provided with A substrate ( 11 ), at least an electronic device ( 12 ) and a USB metal contact ( 13 ) wherein the substrate ( 11 ) has an inner surface ( 111 ) and an outer surface ( 112 ) and the electronic device ( 12 ) is installed on the inner surface ( 111 ) or the outer surface ( 112 ) and electrically connected to the USB metal contact ( 13 ) located at the outer surface ( 112 ); A carrier ( 20 ), comprising: A driven structure ( 21 ) freely installed in the carrier ( 20 ) and provided with a supporting segment ( 211 ) and a support pad ( 212 ) wherein the supporting segment ( 211 ) is adjacent to the support pad ( 212 ) and used to carry the integrated circuit module ( 10 ); the support pad ( 212 ) has the length ( 212 L) greater than or equal to 1.0 mm; Characteristics shown as follows: The support pad ( 212 ) is moved from the carrier ( 20 ) and shifted toward a lower surface ( 25 ) of the carrier ( 20 ) when the driven structure ( 21 ) on which one force is applied by one user is moved in the default direction (D); then the length ( 212 L) of the support pad ( 212 ) posits at the height ( 31 H) of the USB port ( 31 ) in a way for the supporting segment ( 211 ) securely supported and the USB metal contact ( 13 ) electrically connected to a female connector of the USB port ( 31 ) when the USB metal contact ( 13 ) is electrically plugged into a female connector of the USB port ( 31 ) on a computer ( 3 ).
