Abstract
A card connector for an IC card according to the present invention is provided with a preventive wall of an anti-floating mechanism in an ejector mechanism on a substrate, for suppressing the floating-up of the inserted IC card. Also, projections of an erroneous insert prevention mechanism for inhibiting the opposite insert of the card are provided with a sheet metal cover to prevent the IC card from floating up or being erroneously inserted, so that the IC card is not damaged and no short-circuit accident occurs. The card connector for an IC card is constructed into a hollow flat housing formed of a substrate and a metal sheet cover combined therewith, having the anti-floating mechanism for suppressing the floating-up of the IC card and the erroneous insert prevention mechanism for preventing the IC card from being inserted in such a manner that the rear end is directed forward.
