An adapter having female contacts (24) is inserted into a slot provided in an electronic apparatus. The adapter includes a memory card (20) permanently connected to the female contacts, and an opening for receiving an IC card (30). Alternatively, the adapter (80) may use a inductive coil (84) and a circuit unit (83) to interface with a non-contact IC card (50). The latter adapter may include a keyboard (85), display (86), and power supply (87).

IC card adapter for use in memory card slot with or without superimposed

A rubber connector comprises a plurality of insulating portions and a plurality of conducting portions which are alternately disposed with the insulating portions and projected from adjacent insulating portions.

Connector

A multifunction card type electronic apparatus comprising a simple flat-shaped circuit board into which electronic components are mounted; a protective member that is disposed on at least the top surface of the circuit board except for a portion of the top surface of the circuit board on which external connection terminals are to be disposed; and a terminal board on the top surface of which the external connection terminals are disposed, the terminal board being placed and bonded onto the portion of the top surface of the circuit board by means of an electrically conductive material so that the external connection terminals are electrically connected to the circuit board, whereby the electronic apparatus is produced in a low cost, easy to produce and suited to a mass production.

Multifunction card type electronic apparatus

A contact pin comprising an end tip which is to be brought into contact with a terminal disposed of an IC card, for the transmission of an electric signal through the terminal, the end tip consists of an elastic body which is electrically conductive so that the terminal is prevented from being damaged while assuring the electrical contact between the end tip and the terminal.

Contact pin

A card-shaped electronic apparatus has a film member pasted on the surface of a planar circuit piece. The film member has protrusions formed thereon and a filler is injected behind these protrusions between the film member and the circuit piece.

An information processing device for an IC card for reading out the information stored in an IC, or for reading out and writing in the information comprises a connecting part. In particular, in an IC card incorporating an IC possessing a memory function and having a connecting part on the outside of the IC, a part to be connected with said connecting part of the IC and an openable lid are disposed on the top of the main body of the device, and a card holder for holding said IC card is provided on this lid, and the connecting part of the IC card and the connecting part of the main body are joined together by the opening and closing of the lid.

Information processing device for IC card

An IC card has supporting pieces which penetrate its module to firmly secure it such that the module is prevented from easily popping out of the card or cracking when an external force is applied on the card.

IC card

An electronic apparatus comprising a plurality of assembly elements and a heat-sensitive adhesive synthetic resin film tape inserted between the plurality of assembly elements and the heat adhesive synthetic resin tape to integrally bond the elements together into a composite structure which is thin in size and sufficiently elastic to resist bending and twisting.

Thin electronic apparatus

A card-type thin electronic device in which the upper and lower panels are bonded to flanges projecting from a side-wall forming frame between the two panels, while a number of grooves are formed by a half-etching process on the surfaces of both panels bonded against the side-wall forming frame.

Card-type thin electronic device

A method for bonding a LSI chip having terminals on a wiring base having electrodes which comprises the steps of coating a heat sensitive adhesive on the surface of a wafer forming a plurality of LSI chips, sprinkling electrically conductive particles thereon, dopping the electrically conductive particles, scribing the wafer to be divided into each of the LSI chips, positioning each of the terminals of the LSI chip and each of the electrodes of the wiring base face to face, and bonding the LSI chip on the wiring base.
