The first hook portion 2420 and the second hook portion 2440 are respectively hooked on the latching protrusions 204 of the frame 20 . A pressing protrusion 246 is formed at the bottom of the pressing plate 240. The pressing protrusion 246 is located between the first side plate 242 and the second side plate 244. The pressing protrusion 246 includes two opposite third inclined walls 2460 and a fourth inclined wall 2462. The oblique direction of the third inclined wall 2460 and the fourth inclined wall 2462 is opposite to the oblique direction of the first inclined wall 2206 and the second inclined wall 2226. The pressing member 24 is placed in the opening 202, and the first hook portion 2420 and the second hook portion 2440 respectively hook the snap protrusions 204. The pressing protrusion 246 passes through the slot 206, and the third inclined wall 2460 and the fourth inclined wall 2462 respectively abut the first inclined wall 2206 and the second inclined wall 2226.

The elastic conductive member 26 includes a resisting protrusion 260 and a spring piece 262. The resisting projection 260 faces the bottom of the frame 20. When the resisting protrusion 260 is pressed, the elastic piece 262 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the electronic device 100.

Referring to FIG. 7 together, when the button 2 is to be activated, the pressing member 24 is pressed, and the third inclined wall 2460 and the fourth inclined wall 2462 respectively abut the first inclined wall 2206 and the second inclined wall 2226 to make the first elastic member 224. The second elastic member 226 is compressed, and the end portion 2202 of the first slider 220 and the end portion 2222 of the second slider 222 slide out of the positioning hole 102. At this point, the frame 20 can move within the perforations 10. Continuing to press the pressing member 24, the frame 20 slides down until it abuts against the abutting protrusion 260 of the conducting member 26, so that the elastic piece 262 is electrically connected to the circuit board of the electronic device 100. At this time, button 2 is activated. When the pressing member 24 is released, the elastic piece 262 is restored to elastic deformation, and the frame 20 is slid upward until the end portion 2202 of the first slider 220 and the end portion 2222 of the second slider 222 are respectively aligned with the positioning holes 102. At this time, the first elastic member 224 and the second elastic member 226 extend, so that the end portion 2202 of the first slider 220 and the end portion 2222 of the second slider 222 are respectively received in the positioning hole 102, and the frame 20 is fixed to the through hole 10.
