  • Patent number: 11974395
    Abstract: A security element intended to be electrically connected to an electronic card. The security element includes: a metal portion, called a dome; a conductive assembly including conductive tracks which are not connected to each other including an outer track and a central track, each having a conductive tab intended to connect them to the electronic card; and a non-conductive support having lumens via which the conductive tabs extend from the conductive tracks to the electronic card. The ends of the conductive tabs are intended to be in contact with the electronic card and do not extend beyond the non-conductive assembly such that the connections between the tracks and the electronic card are located under a lower face of the non-conductive assembly.
