Abstract
An electronic device includes a casing, a plug, a fixing plate, a circuit board and a first retaining part. The casing has a support member and multiple perforations. The plug has a rotating shaft and multiple pins. The pins are mounted on the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is pivotally supported on the support member such that the pins are rotatable with respect to the rotating shaft. The pins are substantially perpendicular to the casing when the pins are rotated to a first position. The pins are received in the perforations when the pins are rotated to a second position. The fixing plate is disposed on the support member. The circuit board includes multiple contact elements corresponding to the pins. The first retaining part is engaged with or sustained against an engaging part of the rotating shaft, thereby positioning the pins of the plug in the first position.
