Abstract
In a connector structure, a moving element is pushed by a connector to move horizontally with respect to a first housing, while a linking element is moved accordingly by the moving element vertically with respect to the first housing. With such structural relation, the connector structure may be substantially reduced in its thickness before connection with the connector, saving room for the thickness of an electronic device where the connector structure is disposed. As the connector is inserted to the connector structure, the sinked linking element provides necessary structural support for withholding the connector, securing the contact between the connector and a connecting jack of the connector structure, and preventing the connector from detaching from the connector structure.
