SECTION 1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The IntelliStripe 50® Smartcard Insertion Reader is a low-cost, high-reliability, half card,
smartcard only, reader for use in self-service kiosks and terminals. There is no onboard
intelligence; the device acts as a connector to a smartcard or memory card. Users must provid e
their own electronics and software to communicate with the card.
The location and features of the smartcard contacts are compliant with ISO 7816 and EMV
Level I mechanical specifications related to contact loading and contact force.
There are three types of mounting configurations for the Reader: no flange, small flange, and
large flange. Part numbers are listed under configurations, and other features and options are
listed below.
FEATURES
• Rated for 1,000,000 insertion cycles
• Small footprint compatible with most half-card readers
• Three different Chassis styles allow for optimized mounting and integration
• Vandal Resistant – Open chassis design provides superior debris clearance: “half card
dropout” and coins can be cleared from insert channel
• Durable – Manufactured from polycarbonate glass-filled material which meets UL-94VO
rating or better
• ISO 7816 8-contact smartcard connector with flex cable
• Side load spring pressure provided to keep the card from sliding away from smartcard
contacts
• Card Catch feature ensures that bowed cards are funneled towards the smartcard contacts
• 10-pin I/O connector at the rear of the unit
OPTIONS
• Front Card Gate prevents coins, dust, moisture, and debris, from entering the unit – opens
only when ISO-size card enters the unit

MOUNTING FEATURES
The product supports 3 types of mounting configurations: no flange, small flange, large flange.
Part numbers for the configurations are listed above in Configurations.
The Reader chassis is mounted so the smartcard is presented with the chip up as viewed by the
user. The smartcard contacts are at the top of the card slot and face downward. This orientation
permits the debris clearance feature. (See Section 2.)
DEBRIS CLEARANCE
The Reader features an “open card slot” design, which allows most debris to fall free from the
Reader slot and is large enough to allow “half cards” to drop free from the Reader.
SIDE LOAD SPRING
The side-load spring applies constant pressure to the card, ensuring that the card remains
stationary when the user’s hand is removed from the card.
