The connector 1 comprises: a body 2 having a recess 2a for a card 100; six contact springs projecting from a bottom face 3a of the recess 2a on which the IC card 100 is disposed, and elastically contacting with contact terminals 101 of the card 100; a stationary hooking portion 20 provided on a rear face side of the body 2; a movable hooking member 5 provided on a front face side of the body 2, and movable in a anteroposterior direction of the body 2; and a plate spring 18 for charging the movable hooking member 5 toward the rear face of the body 2, and wherein a tapered face 5b is formed on a rear face side of a hooking portion 5c so as to come closer to the rear face of the body 2 as approaching to the bottom face 3a of the recess 2a. A front end of the IC card 100 is held between the stationary hooking member 20 and the bottom face 3a of the recess 2a, and a rear end of the IC card 100 is held by means of the hooking portion 5c provided on the rear face side of the movable hooking member 5 and the bottom face 3a of the recess 2a.
