Abstract
Abstract A memory card having: a card-like package; a semiconductor module disposed within the package; a plurality of electrode terminals mounted on the package for external electrical connection of the semiconductor module in the package to an external circuit; a metallic shutter disposed on the package and movable between an open position in which the electrode terminals are exposed for the electrical connection and a closed position in which the electrode terminals are covered; and an insulating layer formed on a surface of the shutter which faces the electrodes.
