Abstract: The invention concerns a card reader connector (1) having an insulating frame (2) on which are arranged several electrical contacts (4), an arm (6) for positioning card (1) in the connector and ejection of the latter from the connector and means for holding card (1) in reading position. According to the invention, the arm (6) has a first end (10) having a shaft (12) allowing the rotation of said arm (6) and a second end (14) having a piece (16) that is found in contact with card (1) during the introduction and ejection of this latter, respectively, into the connector and during its ejection from the connector.

Abstract: A detector of a flat plate (12) comprises two contact bars (1, 2) extending along two longitudinal parallel axes. Each contact bar is a curved bar having two segments extending opposite each other, a first bar (1) comprising an extension piece (3) configured so as to be opposite the second bar (2), these bars being lodged in a housing (13) suitable for holding the segments compressed between walls of the housing. The extension piece (3) forms a projection on one face of the housing, so that the flat plate (12) traveling parallel to this face can move the extension piece (3) between the projecting position thereof and a drawn-in position in which the extension piece (3) is in contact with a second bar (2). Use, in particular, for a frame (10) for reading an electronic card (12).
