Abstract

An electrical adapter is provided for interconnection with a switch intended for interconnecting a line voltage with a motor. The adapter has four blades extending therefrom for receipt by plug-in receptacles for the switch. The adapter, through a printed circuit board, interconnects the blades with receptacles for receiving wires from a motor, from a filter, and from a line voltage. The line voltage connectors are of the screw-in type, allowing the adapter to convert a switch having plug-in connectors to one having screw-in connectors for the line voltage.
