摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To arrange so that a memory IC is installed in a hidden position, preclude a poor contacting performance owing to contamination of toner and also a destruction of the data due to influence of the static electricity, and enable recycling by mounting the base board of memory IC removably.

SOLUTION: The connector according to the invention is equipped with the base board of memory IC covered with a casing 45 and conductive members 43 and 44 having a connecting terminal for connection with the body device side connector and connecting terminals 43b and 44b for connections with the base board of memory IC, wherein a resilience is given to the connecting terminals for connection with the base board of memory IC of the conductive members.
