Abstract

An adaptor for connecting a miniaturized electronic storage module, especially a miniature card (2) with 60 surface contacts, to a personal computer (PC) a notebook, or a similar data processing system with PCMCIA port whereby at a plug-in card-shaped outer housing (3) a PCMCIA plug (4) is provided at one end face which is connected especially by soldering connections (5) with electronic components supported on the circuit board (7), whereby at the oppositely arranged side a contact field (8) with a conductive rubber strips (10) or contact springs for electrically contacting the miniature card (2) is arranged below a housing window (11) with a frame (12) for insertion and removal of the miniature card (2). In order to increase the functional reliability, especially in the contacting area of the miniature card (2) such that the high contact forces can be compensated over the life expectancy of the adaptor with minimal constructive expenditure without causing damage, it is suggested that the transition area (14) from the printed circuit board (7) to the contact field (8) is provided with a reinforcement means below the contact field (8) in order to counteract counter forces resulting from insertion of the miniature card (2).
