The present invention provides a card reader capable of preventing a liquid entering from the insertion opening of a card from entering into a place at which is arranged a control circuit board to which a plurality of IC contacts are connected via a cable. In this card reader, a seal member (19) is arranged in a seal arrangement part which is arranged forward from a card accommodation part (23), a sleeve part (15c), of a front cover (15), arranged so as to enclose a portion through which a card passes compresses the seal member (19) from the outer circumferential side of the seal member (19). An opening part, in which an IC contact block is arranged, is formed in a first side surface part (28g) of the card accommodation part (23), the first side surface part (28g) having a cover member (30) for covering the IC contact block and the opening part secured thereto. A portion of a body frame (18) inward from a card passage opening formed at a front end of the seal arrangement part is shut tightly. The control circuit board to which the IC contacts are connected via the cable is arranged on the outside of the card accommodation part (23) and inward from the passage opening. |
