Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect an IC from an electric breakdown, to make an IC card small in size, and to reduce the cost by providing a connecting terminal and a contact on different positions on the surface and the reverse side of the IC card, so that the connecting terminal and the contact are not connected electrically, when the IC card is connected in reverse as to its surface and the reverse side, to the connector part. CONSTITUTION:As for an IC card 1, connecting terminals 3, 4 provided on the surface and the reverse side are provided by shifting them in the inserting direction of the IC card 1, respectively. In accordance with it, contacts 6, 7 provided on a connector part 10 are also shifted and provided. An IC card device 9 constituted in this way cannot obtain an electrical connection of the connecting terminal 3, 4 and the contacts 6, 7, unless the surface and the reverse side of the IC card 1 are connected correctly, therefore, when the surface and the reverse side are connected in reverse and a power source of the IC card device 9 is turned on, it can be protected that an IC 2 is broken down electrically.
