A card reader which is attached and used in a host device may include a detection switch disposed on the card reader side attaching face and structured to detect whether the card reader has been detached from the host device; and a first sealing member disposed so as to be sandwiched between the host device side attaching face and the detection switch, the first sealing member covering the detection switch and being structured to prevent penetration of water to the detection switch. The detection switch may include a pressed part and is structured to turn to “ON” or “OFF” when the pressed part is pressed. The first sealing member may be formed with a pressing protruded part structured to press the pressed part.
