- reference numeral 30 denotes a connection terminal of the connector 29, which is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the main plane of the circuit board 20 built in the portable information terminal main body, and When the card 10 is installed, it has a structure to be in contact with the connection terminals of the similarly arranged IC card 10 ⁇
- reference numerals 31a and 3lb denote switch members which are installed in holes formed in the base portion of the U-shaped wall of the connector 29 and constitute a detection switch, respectively.
- the switch member 31a and the switch member 31b come into contact with each other, and as shown in FIG.
- the switch member 31a and the switch member 31b are separated from each other.
- flip 8 is opened.
- the IC card 10 is inserted downward through the inlet of the connector 29, and the IC card 10 is accommodated in the connector 29, and the connection terminal of the IC card 10 and the connector 29 are connected. Make contact with the terminals.
- the switch member 31a is pressed by the IC card 10, comes into contact with the switch member 31b, and is turned on.
- the upper portion of the rectangularly shaped IC card 10 projects outward from the connector 29. Then, after accommodating the IC card 10 in the connector 29 is completed, the flip 8 is closed.
- the flip 8 is opened, the above-mentioned protrusion of the IC card is pinched, and the IC card 10 is pulled upward.
- the switch member 3 la is separated from the switch member 31 b by its elastic force, and the contact state between the connection terminal of the IC card 10 and the connection terminal of the connector 29 is released.
- the flip 8 is closed.
- the connector 29 is formed so as to define the accommodation groove extending in the vertical direction with respect to the main plane of the circuit board built in the portable information terminal main body. This has the effect of reducing the area occupied by the connector or the connector-related element on the board.
- the housing groove of the connector 29 is configured to have a height less than the height of the IC card 10, when the IC card 10 is housed in the connector 29, the IC card 10 The upper part of the IC card protrudes outward from the connector 29, and after opening the flip 8, the IC card 10 can be easily operated by simply picking up the IC card 10 with the thumb and forefinger of the hand and pulling it out. Since the connector 29 can be easily removed, the structure of the connector 29 can be simplified without requiring a complicated mechanism.
