In Figure 3-1, the orientation of the magnetic stripe is that it faces toward the viewer, and the
smart card contacts face away from the viewer. In Figure 3-2 the orientation is the opposite: the
magnetic stripe faces away from the viewer, and the smart card contacts face toward the viewer.
Figure 3-1 shows the smart card contacts, the card-seated contact, the butterfly spring, the head
wiring and the card holding and positioning spring and bracket. The card-seated contact notifies
the host that the smart card is in position for reading. The butterfly spring is for more accurate
reading of bowed or warped cards. The pin lists for the head connectors are shown in Appendix
A. The card holding and positioning spring and bracket provide the necessary pressure to keep
the card under the smart card contacts and prevent it from sliding away.
Figure 3-2 shows the smart card contacts with respect to the smart card bracket and flex cable,
the pin orientation on the flex cable, the head connector, and the bracket disengagement spring.
The disengagement spring repositions the flex cable bracket when the card is removed. Also
shown are the five circuit board mounting standoffs.
MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance required is for cleaning the customer-supplied enclosure.
