Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 138 words
An IC card comprising: a circuit board having two opposed surfaces and electrical wiring disposed on at least one of said surfaces, said circuit board including an exposed edge along which electrode terminals for connection of said circuit board to an external device are disposed; a plurality of electronic parts mounted on said surfaces; a package including a frame enclosing part of said circuit board, first and second covers disposed on said frame to enclose said circuit board while leaving said electrode terminals exposed, said frame including an internal portion on which said circuit board is mounted intermediate of said first and second covers; and a terminal base mounted on one of said surfaces, said electrode terminals being disposed on said terminal base spaced from said circuit board for positioning said electrode terminals relative to said first cover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 138 words
An IC card comprising: a circuit board having two opposed surfaces and electrical wiring disposed on at least one of said surfaces, said circuit board including an exposed edge along which electrode terminals for connection of said circuit board to an external device are disposed; a plurality of electronic parts mounted on said surfaces; a package including a frame enclosing part of said circuit board, first and second covers disposed on said frame to enclose said circuit board while leaving said electrode terminals exposed, said frame including an internal portion on which said circuit board is mounted intermediate of said first and second covers; and a terminal base mounted on one of said surfaces, said electrode terminals being disposed on said terminal base spaced from said circuit board for positioning said electrode terminals relative to said first cover.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
