IC CARD READER WRITER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an IC card reader writer capable of reducing the size thereof. SOLUTION: A thermoplastic resin film 10b is protrusively formed on the surface of a printed base board 3a having a conductive pattern 11 electrically connected to an electronic component 6 on which no electronic components are not mounted, and a contact piece 15 provided with a conductive terminal 14 is arranged on the protrusive surface so that the conductive terminal 14 is connected to the conductive pattern 11. The contact piece 15 is able to contact with an electrode 21 of an IC card 20 by appropriate contact pressure because it can be elastically deformed, and the size of the IC card reader writer 1 can be reduced because the contact piece 15 is arranged on the printed base board 3a.
