Contact smart cards are the size of a conventional credit or debit card. The contain a single, embedded, integrated circuit chip that contains either just memory or memory plus a microprocessor. Contactless smart cards attach embedded antennas, instead of contact pads, to their chips. Contactless cards do not have to be inserted into a card acceptor device. Instead, they need only be passed within range of a radio frequency acceptor to read and store the information on the chip. The range of operation is typically from about 2.5" to 3.9”
