ABSTRACT:
A sealing member such as an O-ring, packing, or gasket is provided on the inner wall of an insertion hole of a terminal connector and/or on the outer surface of a portable data storage device which is inserted into the terminal connector so that the clearance between the portable data storage device and the insertion hole of the terminal connector is filled. An area from the sealing member inside the insertion hole to the innermost electrode section is made air-tight, and therefore no dirt, dust, etc. can enter. Metal panels may be provided on each of the obverse and reverse sides of the portable device to improve mechanical strength. In a portable data storage device equipped with a releasable battery holder, a sealing member is provided on the outer surface of the battery holder and/or on the inner wall of a battery holder housing section of the portable device so that the clearance between the battery holder and the housing section is filled. An area from the sealing member inside the housing section to the innermost electrode section therein is made air-tight, thereby preventing the entry of dirt, dust, etc.
