Abstract

An electric power connector adapting structure includes a connector connected to an electric power cable of a power supply and adapted to an adapting cable for supplying electric power to a port, and the connector installs an electric power terminal therein. The invention includes an electric connecting portion corresponding to a vertical side of an open side of the electric power terminal for connecting an adapting cable, so that the port is electrically coupled to the electric power terminal with an equivalent electric potential, and the connector is connected to a power output port of a power supply for the use of an adapter. The present invention connects an adapting cable to a lateral side of the connector to achieve an easy installation and effectively avoid using excessive cable materials or having a poor cable management.
