Adapter for portable electronic device integrated circuit, chip card type, a reduced size compared to standard mini-card format

The invention relates to an adapter for a portable integrated circuit device of the chip card variety having a reduced format in comparison with the standard mini-card format. The device with a reduced format (60) comprises a body on which a microcircuit (10) defining contact pads (11) is disposed and is characterized in that it comprises a support (100) which has a standard mini-card format, is provided with a cavity (110) having the dimensions of the device with a reduced format (60) and means for detachably fixing said device (60) in the cavity (110), further characterized in that the cavity (110) is located in the support (100) in such a way that the location of the contact pads (11) of the microcircuit (10) of the device with a reduced format (60) coincides with the standardized location of the contact pads (11') of a microcircuit (10') having a standard format mini-card.
