Product Overview: ID TECH MiniSmart Intelligent Smart Card Reader

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 glass-filled 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.

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 GemCore ™ technology from Gemplus. All components are EMV certified.
