Abstract
An electronic device such as an IC card (10), is provided with a plug-receiving receptacle connector (18) at its rear end which is of simple and compact design so it takes up a minimum of space and allows direct connection between the plug contacts (34) and circuitry (80) on the circuit board (12) of the electronic device. An IC card has a top cover (50) with a portion (56) of molded polymer material that forms a cavity (20) between its rear end and the rear of the circuit board upper face into which the plug can be inserted. The circuit board has traces (80) on its upper face and the molded portion of the cover forms cam walls for depressing plug contacts against the traces. The lower cover has a polymer cover portion (62) that supports the rear end of the circuit board and that forms a lead-in (86) for guiding a plug into the cavity. The plug has contacts whose free forward end portions each includes a horizontal rear section (106) and an inclined front section (108).
