Abstract
A card reader (10) includes a housing (12) having a top wall (14), opposed side walls (34), a closed end (30) and an open end (26) defining a card-receiving slot (40), and an array of terminals (50) secured in the housing. The card-receiving slot (40) is spaced upwardly a selected distance from a board-mounting face (22) of the housing (12). The top wall (14) includes an opening (18) therethrough in communication with the card-receiving slot (40) remote from the terminals (50), the opening (18) being aligned with a corresponding opening in the housing (12) beneath the card-receiving slot (40). Portions of a circuit board (70) beneath the housing are exposed for access from above the card reader (10) after mounting to the board (70), when a card (60) is not disposed in the card-receiving slot (40), thereby permitting low profile electronic components (76) to be mounted on the exposed portions of the board or tested or removed therefrom.
