A memory card comprising a circuit board having opposed upper and lower circuit board surfaces, multiple side edges, a chamfer extending between a pair of the side edges, a plurality of pads disposed on the lower circuit board surface, and a conductive pattern which is disposed on the upper circuit board surface and electrically connected to the pads. At least one electronic circuit device is attached to the upper circuit board surface and electrically connected to the conductive pattern of the circuit board. A body at least partially encapsulates the circuit board and the electronic circuit element such that sections of the upper circuit board surface, including one which extends along the entirety of the chamfer, is not covered by the body.
