Abstract
A connector provided in an external device for an IC card having a card shutter provided with slide members, the shutter being capable of advancing and retreating and adapted to cover and protect external terminals of the IC card when the card is not used. This connector is provided with electroconductive pins adapted to move the shutter in the direction opposite to that of the insertion of the IC card so as to open the shutter of the IC card by contacting the slide member of the card shutter when the IC card is inserted into the connector, and an earth line for grounding the pin.
