MiniSmart Partial Insert Reader

{2jtab:Overview}

Tiny but rugged
The MiniSmart is the smallest reader proven to deliver reliable performance for more than 1,000,000 card cycles. The reader’s chassis is molded from a glassfilled engineering plastic, supporting landing-style smart card contacts & card seated sensor. Moreover, the MiniSmart chassis discourages jamming due to debris particles entering through the slot. MiniSmart is small enough to adapt to a wide variety of space-limited applications, and has the advantage of being EMV 2000 level 1 approved.

Simplify Integration of Smart Cards
The MiniSmart Partial Insert Reader operates with both memory & microprocessor type Smart Cards (ICC’s), conforming to ISO 7816 standards. MiniSmart communicates with ICC’s through a low-force landing-style connector with gold-plated contacts that “land” and have a small “wiping” action to ensure dependable connections. The host & card interfaces are provided with Gem-Core™ technology from Gemplus. All components are EMV certified.

Configurable for Any Application
The Host interface is serial USB, RS232, or CMOS-UART. Protocols can be USB-CCID, Block Commands, or PC/SC depending on interface type. Mounting is accomplished with threaded inserts in the reader chassis. MiniSmart can be used with no bezel or there are two molded bezels available, standard or flush mount. Both bezels provide secure mounting for MiniSmart chassis, and an optional card slot “gate” is available to protect the reader from dust, debris,
and casual vandalism.
