A magnetic recording medium processing apparatus may include a coil structured to generate a magnetic field, a magnetic field generation control part which controls generation of the magnetic field in the coil, a sensor structured to execute acquisition of predetermined information, and a sensor control part which controls execution of the acquisition of the information in the sensor. The sensor control part may request the magnetic field generation control part to stop magnetic field generation from the coil at a timing earlier by a predetermined time period than a start timing when the sensor starts the acquisition of the information, and the magnetic field generation control part may stop the generation of the magnetic field from the coil when stop of the magnetic field generation is requested by the sensor control part.

An electronic payment terminal has a casing which is formed by assembling an upper half-shell and a lower half-shell. The lower half-shell includes a magnetic-card-reading single-piece element that has a groove for the movement of a magnetic card so as to enable reading of a magnetic stripe of the magnetic card. The magnetic-card reading single-piece element has a metal sliding blade positioned at the bottom of the groove for movement of the magnetic card.

A card socket for mounting a SIM card and an SD card for a mobile communication terminal includes a housing and a shell. The housing includes a first terminal portion having a first terminal disposed therein, a second terminal portion having a second terminal and a third terminal disposed therein, and a switch portion. The shell includes an upper wall and a sidewall. The shell includes a sensing portion extended from the upper wall to detect insertion of a card tray into the card socket. The sensing portion has a shape which is extended downward from the upper wall in the height direction and then is extended upward in the height direction. The switch portion includes a stopper which is configured to come into contact with an upper surface of the sensing portion and to prevent the sensing portion from being lifted up in the height direction.
