ABSTRACT:
An electronic device with a retractable connector has a housing, an electronic assembly being mounted in the housing and a positioning assembly being mounted between the housing and the electronic assembly. The housing has at least one positioning detent being formed in an inner surface of the housing. The electronic assembly has a circuit board and a connector being mounted on the circuit board and through the connector hole of the housing. The positioning assembly is securely mounted on the circuit board and selectively engages in the positioning detent of the housing. Since positioning structures are formed on the housing and the circuit board, the volume of the electronic device is reduced. In addition, no additional holes are formed through the housing and an original design and an appearance of the housing are kept.
