Abstract

A USB device includes a main body, a PCB fixed in the main body and a USB connector connected to the main body. The USB connector includes a shell, a USB plug and a cover. The shell defines a receiving room, a first opening and a second opening and includes an integrally formed enclosure enclosing the receiving room and a first flange outwardly protruding from the enclosure. The USB plug electrically connects to a wire group and is inserted into the shell from the first opening. The cover shields the second opening and is fixed to the shell. The cover includes a second flange engaging with the first flange to cooperatively receive the wire group and connect to the main body.
