CA 2164886
Disclosed is a connector, which is provided in a IC card body, wherein a socket or a jack is inserted in a direction that is parallel to the face of an IC card. According to the present invention, provided on an IC card body 302 is a flat plate member 305 incorporating a rotatable housing 306, which has an opening 312 by which a socket or a jack can be fitted, that is attached to the flat plate member 305. With this structure, when a socket or a jack is not connected to the IC card, the flat plate member 305 lies level along the face of the IC card; but when a socket is to be connected, the housing 306 of the flat plate member is raised so as to be substantially perpendicular to the face of the IC card. The socket or the jack can therefore be inserted parallel to the face of the IC card, and even when an adjacent IC card is loaded, interference with that IC card is minimal.
