CARD ELEMENT, CHIP CARD, AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A CARD ELEMENT FOR A CHIP CARD

A card element for a chip card, includes an outer metal layer with a flat surface interrupted only by a module opening for receiving a chip module. The module opening extends to an inner side and includes a ferrite layer located on the inner side and through which the opening extends. An inner metal layer is disposed on the ferrite layer through which a portion of the module opening has a reduced cross-section extends. A slit extends from a peripheral surface of the inner metal layer to the module opening and extends through the entire thickness of the inner metal layer. A final layer is made of plastic and disposed on the inner metal layer.
