ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a hinge connector for a folding-type electronic apparatus including a first housing, a second housing, a first electronic unit disposed in the first housing, and a second electronic unit disposed in the second housing. The hinge connector, according to the invention, includes a first shaft member, a second shaft member, a frame member and a flexible conductive element. By the hinge connector according to the invention, the second housing is capable of rotating around two axes relative to the first housing, and the first electronic unit electrically connects with the second electronic unit. In particular, during the operation of the electronic apparatus, the portion of the flexible conductive element within the first shaft member and the second shaft member is twisted rather than bent.
