Abstract
An electronic device includes an antenna, a fixing part, a housing, a switch, and a number of elastic elements. The fixing part is for fixing the antenna. The housing defines a cavity for receiving the fixing part and a first through hole which communicates with the cavity. The switch passes through the through hole and protrudes into the cavity. The number of elastic elements fixed on the housing and protrudes into the cavity. When the antenna is not pushed, the fixing part keeps a certain distance from the inner wall of the cavity. When the antenna is pushed to move, the antenna drives the fixing part to push the numbers of elastic element and contact the switch to trigger the switch.
