Abstract
A USB flash drive includes a USB connector, a latch, and a socket. The USB connector is rotatably connected to the socket and includes a first spring to drive the USB connector to rotate from a folded state in which the USB connector is received in the socket, to an unfolded state in which the USB connector is out of the socket. The latch is positioned in the socket and includes a sliding cap and a second spring. The second spring is configured for driving the sliding cap to slide towards the USB connector when in the folded state, to latch the USB connector. The latch also includes a restraining rod and a third spring. The restraining rod is configured for restraining the sliding cap in the unfolded state under the control of the third spring but when in the folded state releases the sliding cap when pressed by the USB connector.
