Abstract
A USB socket is disposed on a casing for connecting to a USB plug. The USB socket includes a piercing structure, a substrate and a plurality of terminals. The piercing structure is formed on a surface of the casing, and a main board is disposed inside the casing. An internal wall of the piercing structure can buckle the USB plug when the USB plug inserts into the piercing structure. The substrate is disposed on the main board and located inside the piercing structure. An integrated circuit is disposed on the substrate. The plurality of terminals is disposed on the substrate and coupled to the integrated circuit. The USB plug is electrically connected to the substrate and the terminals when the USB plug inserts into the piercing structure.
Claims17
A universal serial bus (USB) socket of an electronic device comprising:
- a piercing hole structure defined on a lateral wall of a casing of the electronic device wherein the electronic device has an input interface and a display screen, and the casing being an exterior cover whereon the input interface and/or the display screen is disposed;
