Abstract

An electronic device includes a first member, a second member electrically and rotatably coupled to the first member, a cable connecting mechanism, and a cable. The cable connecting mechanism includes a housing defining a holding chamber, a pivot assembly, and two elastic members. The pivot assembly includes a first conductive portion received in the holding chamber, and a second conductive portion received in the holding chamber and insulated from the first conductive portion. A first elastic member extends through the housing to resist and electrically couple the first conductive portion. A second elastic member extends through the housing to resist and electrically couple the second conductive portion. The cable extends into the housing to be electrically coupled to the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion.
