  • Patent number: 8226445
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electronic key with USB connector comprises the making of a key body 10, with a polarizer 14 of the connector M, formed in one piece with the key body. The polarizer extends from the surface s1 of the connector which carries the vignette of contact pads, or extending from of the opposite surface s2. The key body excluding the connector, and the polarizer 14 advantageously exhibits the same thickness d1 greater than the standardized thickness dK of the remainder of the connector. It is formed of at least one guidance element 14a. Advantageously it is formed of two guidance elements 14a, one on each side of the vignette, in the form of a longeron following the direction D of introduction of the connector.
