ANTI-DATA THEFT STRUCTURES AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH THE SAME

摘要

A connector in an electronic device includes a case, a supporting element, and an elastic element. The case defines a through hole and a plurality of latching portions protruding from an inner surface of the case surrounding the through hole. The latching portions include an engaging surface and a guiding surface adjacent to the engaging surface. The supporting element is partially received in the through hole. The supporting element includes terminal recesses and resisting pieces engaging with the engaging surface. The elastic element is partially received in the supporting element and supplied a resilient force. When the supporting element is moved away from the case, the resisting piece is separated from the engaging surface to make contact with the guiding surface under the resilient force. If reassembly of the connector contacts is not in the predetermined order the electronic device will be locked down.
