Abstract
A plug adapter includes a holder and a plug. An adaptation ring is provided on the holder; the adaptation ring containing multiple gaps. A mounting plate from the plug is snapped into the adaptation ring and turns in a given direction. The mounting plate is secured in place by pressing a push for the plug to engage with the holder. The push may also be pressed to turn the mounting plate in an opposite direction, causing the plug to disengage from the holder to facilitate replacement of the plug with another plug of differing specification.
