Electronic key cards are similar to ATM cards -- they have an attached magnetic strip that is coded by the check-in computer and read by the lock on the hotel room door.

Notes to answerer
Asker: These are not electronic key cards like those in hotels, rather this kind is swiped against a reader on the side of a door... It isn't inserted into a slot like an elec. key card.

agree  vic voskuil: een pas in my view has the shape of a card or it isn't a pas, but a sleutel or similar//...Indeed, it should be obligatory for the client to provide a plethora of pictures with every source text:)

  -> Thanks, but confusion reigns supreme.

agree  Els Spin: IMHO: if it is shaped as a card and functions as a key, it's a key card - regardless of whether you insert it in a slot or swipe it against a reader. Jarry's suggestion of access card is also a good one.
