ABSTRACT:
In an integrated circuit (IC) card connector, an opening is formed between a base and a cover; and a rotary shaft of a lever member is rotatably retained, and includes a pressing portion and an inclined portion, both of which are formed at the lower face of the lever member through the rotary shaft. A plurality of terminals are affixed to the base in the manner of a cantilever. Contact portions of each of the terminals are such as to protrude into the opening, by an amount which is restricted by a pressurization restricting member which pressurizes them. The resilient member, having a taper portion and a flat portion, is integrally molded with the base. The taper portion is extended obliquely from the inside bottom surface of the opening towards the back side of the IC card connector. The flat portion protrudes with respect to the inside bottom surface of the opening, and is positioned above the contact portions. When the IC card is being inserted into the opening, the IC card is guided along the resilient member in order to separate it from the contact portions. When the insertion is completed, the lever member is rotationally driven by making the front end of the IC card strike against the inclined portion. A pressing portion pushes the IC card downward, while it deforms the resilient member, causing the contact of the IC card to contact the contact portions of the terminals.
