Abstract
An adapter structure for providing an interface between an external wire and a circuit board includes an inner unit, an outer unit separable from the inner unit, and a first set of terminals mounted between the inner unit and the outer unit, wherein the terminals respectively include feet for being electrically connected with the circuit board. The adapter structure further includes a second set of terminals mounted between the inner unit and the outer unit, wherein the second terminals respectively include feet for being electrically connected with the circuit board. The first and second sets of terminals are respectively mounted at two opposite sides of the inner unit. The inner unit and the outer unit form a mounting which includes plural positioning elements respectively having plural protrusions and plural grains for positioning the first and the second sets of terminals respectively having plural slots and plural holes thereon.
