ABSTRACT:
An IC card connector includes a body having a base and two parallel spaced apart legs projecting from both lateral ends of the base. The base and first portions of the two legs form a U-shaped holder for holding an IC card. The body is so shaped and dimensioned that it can be entirely accommodated in a thin plate-like space interposed between two opposite planes, coinciding substantially with the outer surfaces of the body and to provide a gap at second portions of the legs between the base and one of the two planes. Guiding members are formed in the legs first portions to guide loading of the IC card into the holder and pin electrodes are provided in the base for electrical connection to receiving terminals of the loaded IC card. A separating mechanism includes a sliding member supported in grooves formed in the second portions of the legs and slidably moveable between an initial and final position. The sliding member is engaged with the IC card loaded in the holder, when the sliding member is moved from the initial position, to move the IC card into a position where at least the receiving terminals are separated from the pin terminals. The sliding member is disposed in the gap between the base and one of the opposite planes and is accommodated within the thin plate-like space.
