PURPOSE:To prevent memories in a card from damage due to static electricity generated from a human body by coating the upper surface of a terminal group of a memory card mounted on an IC card with an elastomer layer and forming cuts reaching respective terminals. CONSTITUTION:The IC memory 2 is mounted on a flexible printed circuit substrate 3 and fixed by a bonding agent and the end part of the wiring on the substrate 3 is used as a terminal group 31. The upper and lower surface of the substrate 3 except the terminal group 31 is protected and reinforced by sheets 4 such as hard PVC. The terminal group 31 part is coated and protected with the elastomer layer 5 forming cuts 51. In said constitution, a contact is entered into the cuts 51 and connected with the terminal group 31 at the connection of the card with a reader or the like. When the card is not used, the cuts 51 are closed by the elastisity of the elastomer layer 5 and the terminal, group 31 is completely protected. |
