Abstract

An electronic device includes a plug and a main body. The plug includes a casing and a base. The casing has an opening. An extension part is formed on an inner surface of the casing. The base includes at least two conducting pieces. The main body includes a coupling member. The coupling member has a fixing structure and two pins. After the fixing structure is penetrated through the opening, the fixing structure is rotated to be moved along the extension part to a fixed location, so that plug and the main body are combined together and the two pins are respectively contacted with the conducting pieces.
