ABSTRACT:
An IC card connector apparatus including a lock mechanism comprising: a box-type casing having card-receiving opening formed at one end thereof for inserting and ejecting an IC card; an electric connector mounted within said casing opposite said opening for mating with an edge of the IC card; and an eject mechanism including an eject rod disposed on one side of the casing. The connector apparatus further includes a shutter plate slidably mounted at one end of said insertion opening for preventing passage of the IC card therethrough when in a blocking position; and an ON-OFF switch operatively associated with said shutter plate to shut off the electrical connection between the IC card and the connector when the shutter plate is in an open position. One end of said shutter plate engages an end portion of said eject rod as a result of the slide movement of said shutter plate into its blocking position.
