Abstract:
An IC card comprising:a first functional block and a second functional block each comprising a semiconductor integrated circuit; and a plurality of connector terminals exposed, wherein said plurality of connector terminals have an array of two columns formed back and forth as viewed in an IC card insertion direction, and an array of terminal-to-terminal areas between the connector terminals disposed in a first column, and terminal-to-terminal areas between the connector terminals disposed in a second column are shifted from each other in a column direction, wherein said connector terminals include a first connector terminal connected and dedicated to the first functional block, a second connector terminal connected and dedicated to the second functional block, and a third connector terminal sharing an operating power supply commonly to both the first functional block and the second functional block, wherein the connector terminal at one end extending in a column direction of the connector terminals disposed in the second column extends to a position where said connector terminal adjoins, in a column direction, the connector terminal disposed in the first column and placed at one end extending in a column direction of the connector terminals thereof, and wherein the connector terminal at the other end extending in a column direction of the connector terminals disposed in the second column extends to a position where said connector terminal adjoins, in a column direction, the connector terminal disposed in the first column and placed at the other end extending in a column direction of the connector terminals thereof.
