     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0007]    It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. 
         [0008]    Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. 
         [0009]    The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
         [0010]    The present disclosure relates to an electronic device with a connector. 
         [0011]      FIG. 1  illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a shielding shell  10 , a circuit board  30 , and a connector  20 . An elastic signal piece  31  is attached to the circuit board  30 . A U-shaped connecting member  32  surrounding the signal piece  31  is attached to the circuit board  30  and grounded. An opening of the connecting member  32  is near a front edge of the circuit board  30 . 
         [0012]      FIG. 2  illustrates the shielding shell  10  and a connector  20  of the electronic device. The shielding shell  10  is made of non-magnetic materials which shield against electromagnetic interference, and comprises a top plate  11 , side plates  13  perpendicularly extending down from opposite side edges of the top plate  11  and a bottom plate  15  formed between the two side plates  13  and opposite to the top plate  11 . An entrance  16  is defined at a front end of the shielding shell  10 . The top plate  11 , the two side plates  13  and the bottom plate  15  cooperatively define a receiving space  17 . A blocking board  19  is formed at a rear end of the shielding shell  10 . A cutout  151  is defined in a middle portion of the bottom plate  15  and extends through a front edge of the bottom plate  15 . A rectangular opening  131  is defined in each of the side plates  13 . An elastic fixing tab  133  extends from a rear end of the opening  131  and extends into the opening  131 . Each fixing tab  133  comprises a connecting piece  135  extending from the side plate  13 , and a projecting portion  137  extending from a distal end of the connecting piece  135 . The projecting portion  137  comprises a connecting portion  1371  slantingly extending from a distal end of the connecting piece  135 , a curved securing portion  1375  extending from a distal end of the connecting piece  135 , and an extending portion  1373  extending from a distal end of the securing portion  1375 . The securing portion  1375  extends into the receiving space  17 . 
         [0013]    The connector  20  comprises a plug  21  and a cable  23 . The plug  21  comprises a rectangular shielding body  25  and a signal connector  27 . A rectangular cavity  251  is defined in a lower portion of the shielding body  25 . An insulating layer  28  is formed on inner surfaces of the cavity  251 . The signal connector  27  is received in the cavity  251 . The insulating layer  28  is located between the shielding body  25  and the signal connector  27 , for insulating the signal connector  27  from shielding body  25 . A stopper bar  259  is formed at one end of the shielding body  25  and the cable  23  extends through the stopper bar  259  to connect with the signal connector  27 . A notch  253  is defined in each of two opposite sides of the shielding body  25 . 
         [0014]      FIG. 3  illustrates the assembled electronic device. The shielding shell  10  is attached to the circuit board  30 , with the signal piece  31  extending through the cutout  151  and the bottom plate  15  being soldered on the connecting member  32 . The entrance  16  is in alignment with the opening of the connecting member  32 . The plug  21  is inserted into the shielding shell  10  via the entrance  16 , with the signal connector  27  electronically connecting with the signal piece  31  and the fixing tab  133  deformably engaging in the notches  253 . The plug  21  is fixed in the shielding shell  10 . The stopper bar  259  can be stopped by the front end of the circuit board  30 , and an end of the shielding body  25  away from the cable  23  can be stopped by the blocking board  19 . 
         [0015]    The plug  21  of the connector  20  can be easily detached from the shielding shell  10  when the fixing tab  133  is deformed, to move out of the notches  253 . 
         [0016]    The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
