Abstract
A connector structure of a circuit board for a power supply apparatus includes an insulating housing, conductive terminals, and at least one supporting rods with each connected to the mounting surface of the insulating housing and having a pillared portion, a first protruding latch and a second protruding latch both extending laterally from a first location and a second location on the pillared portion of the supporting rod respectively. The thickness of a first circuit board is different from the thickness of a second circuit board, thus when a supporting rod passes through a first pinhole on the first circuit board, the first protruding latch props against a bottom of the first circuit board, and when a supporting rod passes through a second pinhole on the second circuit board, the second protruding latch props against a bottom of the second circuit board to prevent a movement of the connector respectively.
