4 A printed-circuit board 36 is arranged inside the unit 30, between the half-shells 32 and 34, and extends parallel to the general plane of the unit and, at each of its opposite longitudinal ends, carries connectors 38, 40, illustrated schematically in S Figure 1, it being possible far one or the other of the connectors, depending on the applications, to be replaced by an element of the same size which constitutes a plug for closing the unit 30 at its corresponding longitudinal end.
The printed-circuit board, which constitutes the intermediate board of the unit, can receive electronic components (not shown) on its two faces.
As represented in Figure 1 , one of the connectors 40 may, for example, be designed to allow wiring of a plug 42 which connects the unit 30, for example, to a telecommunication line.
The upper half-shell 32 delimits a plane upper main wall 44 which, in cooperation with the plane lower main wall 46 of the lower half-shell 34, delimits an internal cavity 48 (see Figure 2) inside which the printed-circuit board 36 extends, parallel to the walls 44 and 46 and substantially halfway between the opposite inner faces 45 and 47 of the walls 44 and 46.
According to the standardized design of the unit 30, it is delimited transversely by two opposite side walls 50 and 52, which are parallel to the general longitudinal direction of the unit and which here consist of folded vertical edges 54 and 56 of 25 the lower half-shell 34, which are crimped around the opposite side edges of the upper half-shell 32, one 58 of which is illustrated in Figure 1.
The unit 30 may be produced with a one-piece shell.
The side walls 50 and 52 of the connection unit 30 are 30 designed in the form of rails for guiding the unit 30 in corresponding slideways (not shown) belonging to the standardized slot intended to receive the unit 30.
To this end, the side end portions of the upper 32 and lower 34 half-shells are deformed 60, 62 to give the side walls 50 and 52 a height which is less than the overall height of the unit 30, that is to say its thickness in its central part.

5 A connector 64 intended to receive a contact cart C with integrated circuit(s), of the "MICRO SIM" type, is arranged inside the unit 30.
According to a known design which is, for example, described and represented in French Patent Application No.
95.14767, the connector 64 essentially consists of a support 66, made of insulating material, which, in its upper face 68, delimits a housing 70 whose shape is complementary with that of the card C
and which is intended at least partly to receive the latter whose lower face 72 includes conductive zones 74 which, when the card C is in the position in which it is inserted into the housing 70, are in contact with contact ends 76 belonging to contact blades 78 of the connector.
The connector 66 is intended to be mounted with the lower face 67 of the insulator 66 bearing on the upper face 37 of the printed-circuit board 36.
Once the unit 30 is assembled and closed with the connector 64 carried by the printed-circuit board 10, and in order to allow insertion or extraction of the card C into or from the connector 64, a slot 80 is provided which, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, is arranged in the vicinity of one of the side walls 50 of the connection unit 30.
More particularly, and as can be seen in detail in Figure 2, the insertion slot 80 extends essentially in the inclined portion 82 of the side part of the upper half-shell 32 which joins the upper main wall 44 to the fold 60 extending in the plane portion 84 corresponding to the reduced-thickness side portion of the unit 30.
According to a known design which is, for example, described and represented in French Patent Application No.
95.14767, the connector 64 essentially consists of a support 66, made of insulating material, which, in its upper face 68, delimits a housing 70 whose shape is complementary with that of the card C
and which is intended at least partly to receive the latter whose lower face 72 includes conductive zones 74 which, when the card C is in the position in which it is inserted into the housing 70, are in contact with contact ends 76 belonging to contact blades 78 of the connector.
The connector 66 is intended to be mounted with the lower face 67 of the insulator 66 bearing on the upper face 37 of the printed-circuit board 36.
Once the unit 30 is assembled and closed with the connector 64 carried by the printed-circuit board 10, and in order to allow insertion or extraction of the card C into or from the connector 64, a slot 80 is provided which, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, is arranged in the vicinity of one of the side walls 50 of the connection unit 30.
More particularly, and as can be seen in detail in Figure 2, the insertion slot 80 extends essentially in the inclined portion 82 of the side part of the upper half-shell 32 which joins the upper main wall 44 to the fold 60 extending in the plane portion 84 corresponding to the reduced-thickness side portion of the unit 30.
6 The portion 84' of the said part 84, which extends in line with the slot 80 cut out from the inclined part 82, is slightly deformed vertically downwards with respect to the general plane of the part 84.
The insertion slot 80 is thus delimited by two upper main edges 86 and 88 and by two end edges 90 and 92.
In this embodiment of the connector 64, it includes, on its lower face 67, four feet 101 in the form of cylindrical studs which are intended, on the one hand, to position and fix the connector 64 on the printed-circuit board 36 which, to this end, includes corresponding holes 100 through which the feet 101 extend and, on the other hand, to allow the connector 64 to fulfill a spacer function between the upper 44 and lower 46 main boards of the unit 30, in order to prevent accidental crushing of the unit 30.
To this end, and as can be seen in particular in Figure 7, the height of the feet 101, which are in the form of cylindrical studs and form a spacer, is such that the lower end face 102 of each foot 101 is in contact with the inner face 47 of the lower wall 46, while the plane upper face 68 of the insulting support 66 of the connector 64 bears against the opposite inner face 45 of the upper wall 44.
As can be seen in Figure 3, the design of the connector 64, which includes a recess 10 formed in its front edge 112, and its positioning on the printed-circuit card 36, with respect to the slot 80, are such that the connection ends of the contact blades 78 are set-back with respect to the axis region constituted by the slot 80, thus avoiding any risk of accidental short-circuit should a metallic object be inserted into the slot 80.
As can also be seen in Figures 6 and 7, when the card C
is in the position in which it is inserted into the unit, and thus in the connection position of the housing 70 of the connector 64, its front transverse edge 99 is located entirely within the unit 30, that
The insertion slot 80 is thus delimited by two upper main edges 86 and 88 and by two end edges 90 and 92.
In this embodiment of the connector 64, it includes, on its lower face 67, four feet 101 in the form of cylindrical studs which are intended, on the one hand, to position and fix the connector 64 on the printed-circuit board 36 which, to this end, includes corresponding holes 100 through which the feet 101 extend and, on the other hand, to allow the connector 64 to fulfill a spacer function between the upper 44 and lower 46 main boards of the unit 30, in order to prevent accidental crushing of the unit 30.
To this end, and as can be seen in particular in Figure 7, the height of the feet 101, which are in the form of cylindrical studs and form a spacer, is such that the lower end face 102 of each foot 101 is in contact with the inner face 47 of the lower wall 46, while the plane upper face 68 of the insulting support 66 of the connector 64 bears against the opposite inner face 45 of the upper wall 44.
As can be seen in Figure 3, the design of the connector 64, which includes a recess 10 formed in its front edge 112, and its positioning on the printed-circuit card 36, with respect to the slot 80, are such that the connection ends of the contact blades 78 are set-back with respect to the axis region constituted by the slot 80, thus avoiding any risk of accidental short-circuit should a metallic object be inserted into the slot 80.
As can also be seen in Figures 6 and 7, when the card C
is in the position in which it is inserted into the unit, and thus in the connection position of the housing 70 of the connector 64, its front transverse edge 99 is located entirely within the unit 30, that
7 is to say slightly set-back inwards with respect to the upper main edge 86 of the insertion slot 80. In order to facilitate full insertion of the card, an additional cut-out may be provided in the edge of the slot 80.
The unit 30 equipped with the connector 64 thus has an outer "contour", after insertion of the card C, which is identical to that of a conventional unit, so as to allow it to be inserted into a corresponding slot of a personal computer.
The extremely small dimensions of the insertion slot 80 do not modify the general structure of the unit 30, that is to say nor its rigidity, and the slot does not affect the electromagnetic screening function which the unit fulfills with respect to the components (not shown) carried by the printed-circuit board 36.
According to the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, in order to allow the card C to be extracted from the unit 30, a notch or extraction groove 114 is provided in the upper main board 44, this being illustrated by a dotted and dashed line in Figure 6, and extending transversely with respect to the unit 30, that is to say parallel to the insertion or extraction direction I of the card. The notch 114 is positioned in such a way as to extend on either side of the rear transverse edge 98 of the card C and, preferably, opposite a region of the connector 64 which does not include metallic parts belonging to the contact blades 78.
It is thus possible to insert a small tool into the notch 114 in order to act on the rear transverse edge 98 of the card C, in order to push it out from its housing 70, that is to say by making it slide from left to right, as regards Figure 6, over the travel permitted by the length of the notch 114, so that its front transverse edge 99 at least partly emerges from the unit 30 through the slot 80 such that, after this first extraction phase, the user can grasp the card in order to extract it fully from the unit 30.

8 According to the standardized definition of "MICRO SIM"
cards, an example of which is illustrated in the scope of the present description, the card C has, in the vicinity of its front transverse edge 99, a cut-out surface 116 which, for some applications, constitutes an orienting means for the position of the card C in its connector.
In order to hold the card C in the position in which it is inserted into the unit 30, and to prevent it from accidentally emerging, even partially, from the unit, a protuberance 120 may be provided, formed in the upper main wall 44 in line with the cut-out surface 116 and extending, over a small height, into the cavity 48 in order to constitute a stop which extends in front of the cut-out surface 116.
When the card is extracted using a tool inserted into the notch 114, the user must apply a slightly greater effort, so that, by means of a slight elastic deformation of the corresponding part of the upper wall 44, the stop constituted by the protuberance 120 withdraws as the cut-out surface 116, then the upper face 73 of the card C, passes by.
