Abstract
An IC card connector is provided for connecting an IC card having a terminal array to external equipment. The connector includes a base member having a plurality of electrically conductive contacts exposed on one side of the base member for engaging the terminal array of the IC card. A cover is hinged to the base member for movement toward and away from the one side of the base member. The cover has a receptacle for securing the IC card thereon for movement therewith, whereby closing of the cover onto the base member effects engagement of the IC card terminal array with the contacts on the cover.
