ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for an IC card is incorporated in an IC card reader for reading and writing data from and onto the IC card. A fixed contact piece has a main body extending through both ends of a mounting portion of the connector so as to be fixed to the mounting portion, and both ends as circuit connection terminals. The fixed contact piece further has an L-shaped projection piece having a sufficient elasticity. The contact portion of the L-shaped projection piece and the contact portion of a movable contact piece intersect substantially in a "cross-shaped" figure and contact each other in point contact. With this construction, a complete electrical connection between contact pieces is achieved and the freedom in layout of printed wiring on a base plate is increased.
