Abstract
A computer adapter such as a TV card includes a circuit board to be inserted in an expansion slot of the computer system; a signal transmission connector socket having a first end secured to the circuit board and a second end to be coupled to an external signal transmission connector; a securing plate securable to the computer system and the circuit board, and having a through hole for exposing the second end of the signal transmission connector socket; and an elastic metallic conductive member mounted between the signal transmission connector socket and the securing plate. The elastic metallic conductive member has a crooked cross-section in a certain direction so as to be elastically stretchable in the certain direction, thereby in contact with both of the signal transmission connector socket and the securing plate to accomplish electric connection.
