Abstract

An electrical device includes a connector, a circuit board and a connector-securing structure. The connector includes a body and a fixing pin extending from the body for fixing the connector on the circuit board. The circuit board defines a gap corresponding to an outer profile of the connector for receiving the connector. The connector-securing structure is provided for securing the connector in the gap of the circuit board. The connector-securing structure includes a holding portion and a holding slot. The holding portion is perpendicular to and extends from the fixing pin. The holding slot is defined through the circuit board in a position corresponding to the holding portion. The holding slot is engaged with the gap of the circuit board for receiving and holding the holding portion.
