Abstract: A plurality of stator-side electrodes disposed in a stator is vertically disposed so as to face a plurality of mover-side electrodes disposed on a mover in a protruding manner. Wide areas facing each other can be secured between the electrodes on the stator and the mover-side electrodes even at a narrow space in three dimensions. Great electrostatic attraction force can be generated between both electrodes, and the mover 30 can be driven with greater driving force.

Abstract: A connector for IC cards comprising a housing with a plurality of connecting terminals attached thereto, shielding plates disposed on a peripheral surface of the housing, and a circuit board to which the housing and the shielding plates are mounted, wherein the shielding plates are disposed respectively on both an upper surface side and a lower surface side of the housing. Each of the shielding plates are formed with grounding portions and are mounted to the circuit such that the grounding portions are in a superposed arrangement.

Abstract: An IC card connector having a housing provided with terminals, a frame attached to the housing, and an ejecting lever supported on the frame. The frame is a flat plate provided with a pair of mounting holes, and a connecting portion recessed in the direction of plate thickness between the mounting holes. The ejecting lever has a raised portion at the central part, jutting out in the direction of plate thickness, and inserted through from one mounting hole into the other mounting hole astride the connecting portion. The connecting portion is overlapped on the raised portion, so that the surface of the raised portion will be approximately flush with the surface of the flat plate of the frame, and the back side of the connecting portion will be approximately flush with the back side of the ejecting lever. The ejecting lever is also rotatably supported between the connecting portion and the raised portion, thereby pushing with the ejecting lever to drive out an IC card off terminals of the housing.

Abstract: A connector for IC card, comprising a housing with plural connecting terminals attached thereto, a shielding plate disposed on the housing, and a circuit board on which the housing and the shielding plate are mounted, wherein the shielding plate is formed with a grounding portion, an end of the grounding portion being extended and bent to form a bent portion as a swivel-stop portion for the nut.

Abstract: In the IC card of the present invention, a substrate member received in an accommodating portion of a case is held grippingly between an upper cover and a lower cover, therefore, the conventional frame is not needed. Thus, the IC card of the invention is superior in productivity and is less expensive.

Abstract: Disclosed is an IC card connector in which the amount the IC card is discharged can be increased even if the operating force applied to the push rod is reduced. A first support shaft 15 and a second support shaft 16 protrude from a pin housing 10 which is provided with a large number of pin contacts, and an eject lever 13 is rotatably supported by the first support shaft 15. A push rod 12 is supported so as to be capable of reciprocating by a frame 11 which is formed into an integral unit with the pin housing 10, and the forward end of the push rod 12 is engaged with the eject lever 13. A drive lever 14 having a claw portion 14b for pushing out the IC card 1 is rotatably supported by the second support shaft 16.
