A rotating socket comprises a wiring assembly, a rotating assembly, an elastic member, a locking mechanism, and a housing. The wiring assembly comprises a fixing base and lugs, the fixing base comprises a substrate and a side wall. The rotating assembly comprises a panel, a rotating base, conductive tabs and conductive rings. The locking mechanism controlling whether the rotating base is separated from the fixing base. When the locking mechanism is in a locked state, the rotating base compresses the elastic member, and one end of the rotating base away from the panel abuts against the substrate and is limited by the side wall; when the locking mechanism is in a unlocked state, the rotating base is separated from the fixed base by resilient force of the elastic member and free to be rotated.
