The adapter includes an outer contact, an inner contact, and an insulator between the outer contact and the inner contact. The first receptacle includes a first outer terminal in electrical contact with a first end of the outer contact, a first inner terminal in electrical contact with a first end of the inner contact, and a first insulative body between the first outer terminal and the first inner terminal. The first outer terminal includes a plurality of first elastic contact structures. Each of the first elastic contact structures has an elastic arm and a first contact point formed on the elastic arm. The first contact point is adapted to elastically electrically contact an inner wall of the first end of the outer contact.
