The present invention relates to an IC card connector in whcih an IC card is inserted into gaps between a contact arrangement surface formed in a housing of the connector, and a pushing plate vertically movable with respect to the housing. After the IC card has been inserted, the pushing plate is pushed toward the contact arrangement surface by pushing mechanisms, so that the IC card is contact-pressed to the contacts on the contact arrangement surface, through the pushing plate. The pushing mechanisms may be formed by, for example, levers rotatable between first positions where the levers cross the pushing plate immediately above the same and second positions where the levers do not cross the pushing plate.
