Abstract
An electronic device includes: a first housing; a covercapable of covering a portion of the first housingto be covered; and a waterproofing memberplaced around the portion to be covered. The coveris displaceable between a closed position at which the cover covers the portion to be covered and an open position at which the cover opens the portion to be covered. The coveris in contact with the waterproofing memberwhen it is at the closed position. Even if the number of terminals increases, since the waterproofing memberis provided on the first housing, the single waterproofing member can render all of the terminals waterproof. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of components and to reduce the number of assembling steps.
