Abstract

A modular power supply, having a standard structure to engage with a variety of sockets, includes a casing, a circuit board and a plural number of sockets. The casing has an upper case engageable with a lower case to house the circuit board in between. The circuit board has circuits to convert alternate current into direct current and a connector room at one end thereof for engaging with a socket. In the connector room, there are provided with a pair of spaced terminal seats which has a standard interval in between, and a ground seat. The sockets can include a two-port socket, a three-port socket and a coaxial socket. Each socket has two terminals with the standard interval for engaging with the terminal seats. The three-port socket further has a ground terminal which is engageable with the ground seat.
