Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a USB electronic key, whereby a chip is cut out of a tape, provided with a plurality of chips, each chip defining contact pads in USB format and supporting an electronic component, connected to the pads. The thickness adjustment step is directly carried out on the chip to give a thickness conforming to the USB standard, at least in the area of the contact pads.

Abstract: A method for producing a portable electronic object having contact pads arranged on a plane with a thickness which differs from the thickness of a standard smartcard. The object is electrically connected to data transfer station connectors, by delivering a data transfer station having an electric probe connector and submitting the object to the data transfer station in such a way that the contact pads thereof are accessible to the electric probes in a direction perpendicular to the plane. Objects obtainable include UBS keys or PCMCIA cards or readers.

Abstract: A dongle is formed by a module having an integrated circuit chip which is connected to contact pads which are flush with the surface of the module. The dongle is intended to be connected to a port of a telecommunications device, having electric connecting pins. The contact pads correspond to the electric connecting pins in such a way that the pads can be directly connected to the pins.
