The present technology relates to an adapter device and an electronic apparatus which are suitable to be used in a recording medium having a different physical specification.
In the related art, in electronic apparatuses, recording and reproducing of various types of data have been performed using a card-shaped recording medium, for example, a media card in which a semiconductor element such as flash memory and the like are used. When the card-shaped recording medium is used in an the electronic apparatus, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2012-203423, a movement of a heat sink is performed to be synchronized with an opening-closing operation of a gateway of the recording medium caused by an opening-closing lid. In other words, when the opening-closing lid is opened, the heat sink moves in a direction to be away from a recording medium accommodation section, and when the opening-closing lid is closed, the heat sink moves in a direction to be close to the recording medium accommodation section, thereby being in press contact with the recording medium in the recording medium accommodation section. As a result, heat generated in the recording medium can be radiated to the outside through the heat sink. When inserting and withdrawing the recording medium, the recording medium is unlikely to rub against the heat sink, and thus, it is possible to prevent damage and the like to the recording medium.
