An electronic device includes a housing unit having an accommodating portion, and first and second openings communicating with the accommodating portion. A waterproof element is made of a resilient material, and includes a main body that is disposed on the accommodating portion and that has a top face, and a side face extending upwardly from the top face. The electronic component module includes a circuit board and an electronic component. The circuit board has a board bottom face disposed on and abutting against the top face of the main body and covering the second opening, and a board edge abutting against the side face of the main body. An electronic component is attached to the circuit board, extends through the main body of the waterproof element, is disposed inside the accommodating portion, and faces the first opening.

The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a fastening unit for fixing said circuit board to said housing unit. 3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein said electronic component is configured as an input/output connecting device. 4. An electronic device, comprising: a housing unit including an accommodating portion, and first and second openings communicating with said accommodating portion;a waterproof element made of a resilient material and including a main body that is disposed on said accommodating portion and that has a top face, and a side face extending upwardly from said top face; andan electronic component module including a circuit board having a board bottom face disposed on and abutting against said top face of said main body and covering said second opening, and a board edge abutting against said side face of said main body; andan electronic component attached to said circuit board, extending through said main body of said waterproof element, disposed inside said accommodating portion, and facing said first opening;wherein said main body of said waterproof element includes first and second wall portions connected to each other and forming an L-shape configuration;wherein said accommodating portion includes an inner upstanding wall that has a top edge; andwherein said first wall portion is disposed on said top edge of said inner upstanding wall and further has a bottom face formed with an engaging groove to engage said top edge of said inner upstanding wall. 5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein said first wall portion has said top face, and said second wall portion has said side face. 6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein said housing unit further includes interconnected upper and lower casing members, said lower casing member having said first opening and said accommodating portion. 7. The electronic device of claim 4, further comprising a fastening unit for fixing said circuit board to said housing unit. 8. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein said electronic component is configured as an input/output connecting device. 9. An electronic device, comprising: a housing unit including an accommodating portion, and first and second openings communicating with said accommodating portion;a waterproof element made of a resilient material and including a main body that is disposed on said accommodating portion and that has a top face, and a side face extending upwardly from said top face; andan electronic component module including a circuit board having a board bottom face disposed on and abutting against said top face of said main body and covering said second opening, and a board edge abutting against said side face of said main body; andan electronic component attached to said circuit board, extending through said main body of said waterproof element, disposed inside said accommodating portion, and facing said first opening;wherein said main body includes first and second wall portions connected to each other and forming an L-shape configuration, said first wall portion having said top face, said second wall portion having said side face; andwherein said first wall portion has a substantially U-shaped cross section, two opposite ends connected to said second wall portion, and a protrusion projecting from and extending along said top face of said first wall portion, said board bottom face of said circuit board abutting against said protrusion. 10. An electronic device, comprising: a housing unit including an accommodating portion, and first and second openings communicating with said accommodating portion;a waterproof element made of a resilient material and including a main body that is disposed on said accommodating portion and that has a top face, and a side face extending upwardly from said top face; andan electronic component module including a circuit board having a board bottom face disposed on and abutting against said top face of said main body and covering said second opening, and a board edge abutting against said side face of said main body; andan electronic component attached to said circuit board, extending through said main body of said waterproof element, disposed inside said accommodating portion, and facing said first opening;wherein said waterproof element further includes a flange projecting from said side face of said main body above said top face, said circuit board being inserted between said flange and said top face. 11. A waterproof element adapted to be disposed between a housing unit and a circuit board, the circuit board having a board bottom face and a board edge, said waterproof element comprising: a main body made of an elastic material and adapted to be disposed between the housing unit and the circuit board, said main body having a top face for abutment with the board bottom face of the circuit board, and a side face extending upwardly from said top face of said main body for abutment with the board edge of the circuit board;wherein said main body includes first and second wall portions connected to each other and forming an L-shape configuration, said first wall portion having said top face, said second wall portion having said side face; andsaid first wall portion having laterally spaced apart inner and outer side surfaces and a bottom face extending between the inner and outer side surfaces, the bottom face being formed with a downwardly opening groove inwardly spaced apart from the inner and outer side surfaces for receiving a top edge of the housing unit. 12.
