An IC card reader comprising card positioning or guide means, optionally means for verifying that the card is present in the reader in a position suitable for being read, and contact elements for providing electrical connection with conducting pads on the IC card, whereby circuits are established with the apparatus containing the IC card reader. The reader further comprises: a rocking lever (400 including a central pivot (41); an actuating cam (47) on one side of the pivot and against which a card (2) being inserted comes to bear at the end of its insertion stroke, thereby pivoting the lever from a rest position to a pressure-applying position; a pressure cam (51) on the other side of the pivot for bearing against the card when the rocking lever is in its pressure-applying position, thereby bending the card towards the contact elements (4); and resilient return means (45, 46) returning the rocking lever to its rest position when it is not engaged by a card inserted in the reader.
