Abstract

An electrical charger for charging an electronic device includes a base, a connector, and a pop-up mechanism. The connector is exposed out of the base for connecting the electronic device. The pop-up mechanism is received in the base and includes a number of pushing pillars and a button set on the base. The pushing pillars are slidably set beside the connector. A top end of each pushing pillar extends out of the base. The button drives the pushing pillars to slide upwards, pushing the electronic device away from the connector when the charging operation is completed.
