Connector socket and portable electronic device using the same

Abstract

This invention provides a connector socket and a portable electronic device using the same. The connector socket is disposed at a casing for connecting a connector. The connector socket includes a rotatable element and an elastic element. The rotatable element is pivotally connected to the casing. The elastic element is coupled to the casing and the rotatable element. The rotatable element has a protrudent portion. When the connector is connected to the connector socket, the connector presses the protrudent portion to allow the rotatable element to automatically rotate from a storage position to an open position. When the connector is separated from the connector socket, the rotatable element automatically rotates from the open position to the storage position via the elastic element.
