In actual production, the first circuit board and the second circuit board are generally arranged up and down, and a gap for inserting the card is reserved between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. For example, when the contact of the smart card is inserted into the card insertion device facing upward, the smart card is identified by the first contact point, and when the contact of the smart card is inserted into the card insertion device facing downward, the smart card is identified by the fifth contact point. Further, the structure of the second card holder module is the same as that of the first card holder module.
