Memory card

A memory card, comprising:

• a main body of the memory card in which a notched section is formed;
• a semiconductor memory in which data can be at least written;
• a terminal provided in the main body of the memory card for electrically connecting the semiconductor memory to an external device;
• and
• a write/nonwrite setting element for setting the write/nonwrite state of the data in the semiconductor memory, the write/nonwrite setting element being slidably fitted in the notched section,
• wherein the main body of the memory card includes an upper main body and a lower main body;
• at least one of the upper main body and the lower main body has an elastic guide formed within the notched section;
• the write/nonwrite setting element is slidably fitted in the elastic guide and is sandwiched between the upper main body and the lower main body;
• the write/nonwrite setting element is positioned such that a portion of the write/nonwrite setting element covers a portion of the notched section;
• the write/nonwrite setting element slides along the elastic guide so as to set the write/nonwrite state of the data in the semiconductor memory;
• and
• the elastic guide has an engagement portion for engagedly stopping the write/nonwrite setting element so as to select the position of the write/nonwrite setting element with respect to the elastic guide.
