Abstract

A SIM card receiving mechanism for holding a SIM card (6) in an electronic device includes a first recess (4) and a securing assembly (2). An elastic element (41) is formed in the first recess. The securing assembly includes a second recess (7) and a slideable element (5). The second recess is in communication with the first recess. The slideable element is slideably received in the second recess. When the slideable element is moved toward the first recess, to a latched position, the slideable element can hold a SIM card down in the first recess. To remove the SIM card, the slideable element is moved away from the first recess and the elastic element pushes the SIM card upwardly and out of the first recess.
