An IC card including an electric circuit board and have face and back metallic panels that include a housing and are attached to a resin frame. The IC card has a discharge pattern formed on the electric circuit board for discharging static electricity applied to the metallic panels, a conductor elastically disposed between one of the metallic panels and the discharge pattern for electrically coupling one of the metallic panels with the discharge pattern, and a ground pattern formed on the electric circuit board with the ground pattern separated by a given distance A from the discharge pattern for routing the static electricity to a card connector. The given distance A is a distance necessary for the static electricity to start discharging at a given voltage. A given distance needed for discharge can be maintained precisely through a simple manufacturing process. A fluctuation in discharge start voltage can therefore be minimized. This results in a highly reliable product.
