ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a tape cassette mounted with an IC memory and an IC connecting system provided in a recording and reproducing apparatus for the tape cassette. The tape cassette is provided with a recess on the back side of the cassette. The recess has at least a round corner at a distal end thereof. The IC memory package has a rectangular shape with at least a round corner and with a cutout portion at a corner other than the round corner and a terminal portion on the package, wherein the IC memory package is mounted in the recess by causing the round corner of the IC memory package to be snugly fitted with the round corner of the recess. The connecting system is used for electrically connecting the terminals of the IC memory to the apparatus when the tape cassette is loaded into the apparatus. The IC connecting system has a connector including electrically conductive pressure contact members having one end for connecting the terminals of the IC memory under pressure and the other end connected to an IC drive circuit in the apparatus. The IC connecting system also automatically controls the connecting operation so as to obtain a reliable connection between the terminals of the IC memory and the contact member.
