Abstract
An IC card connector in which in the insertion space for one IC card, the insertion space for the other IC card is secured, and contact parts are disposed near the insertion slot. In the insertion slot for one IC card, the insertion space for the other IC card is disposed, which is narrower in width and one end of the height direction is located in the insertion slot for the one IC card, while at least a part of the insertion space is shared with the insertion space for the one IC card. A plate is disposed to partition the shared part of the insertion space for the one IC card to make the shared part as the insertion space for the other IC card. This plate has a mechanism that, when the one card is inserted while the other card is not, the plate is moved away from the insertion space for the one IC card and makes room therefor.
