An electrical connector (10) provides for the connection of the contact pads of an IC card (12) to a printed circuit board. The connector includes a base (18) supportable on the printed circuit board and a cover (20) pivotally removable with respect to the base. The base supports a plurality of electrical contacts (24). Each contact has a spring element and a contact tail extending from the base for termination to the printed circuit board. The cover (10) is pivotally movable from an open position permitting insertion and removal of the card from the cover to a closed position with the contact pads of the IC card being positioned adjacent the spring elements. The cover (10) is further movable linearly from the closed position to a locked position locking the cover to the base and moving the contact pads over the spring elements and into electrical engagement therewith.
