Abstract: An IC connector (12) is adapted for connecting an IC card (18) having a terminal array. The connector includes a base member (14) having a plurality of electrically conductive contacts (44) for engaging the terminal array of the IC card. A cover (16) is mounted on the base member for pivotal movement toward and away from one side of the base member. The cover has a receptacle means (22) for securing the IC card thereon. The IC card (18) is received for sliding movement relative to the cover (16) between a preload position and a latched position. A biasing shoulder (52) on the base member (14) slides the IC card from its preload position to its latched position automatically in response to closing of the cover (16). A latch (54) on the base member (14) engages the IC card in its latched position to lock the cover and IC card in a closed position on the base member. A release (58) on the base member (14) moves the biasing shoulder (52) out of engagement with the IC card to allow the IC card to be moved back to its preload position out of engagement with the latch (54), whereby the cover and IC card can be pivoted back to an open position.
