Abstract
A grounding mechanism (20) is electronically connected to a main circuit board (52), a subsidiary circuit board (53) and a key conductive member (55). The grounding mechanism includes an elastic member (30). The elastic member includes a mounting portion (31), a conductive portion (32) and a resisting portion (35). The mounting portion is electronically fixed to the main circuit board. The conductive portion extends from one side of the mounting portion for electronically connecting to the key conductive member. The resisting portion extends from another side of the mounting portion for resisting the subsidiary circuit board.
