Abstract
A power adapter with a rotatable plug module has a body, a circuit module and a plug module. The body has multiple fasteners and multiple clasps. The fasteners are arranged in a ring shape. Each of the clasps is formed on one side of each fastener and extends from the fasteners in the same orientation. The circuit module has a circuit board mounted in the body. The plus module has multiple conducting blades and multiple holes. The holes are engaged with the fasteners of the substrate when the plug module is rotated to correspond to the fasteners. The conducting blades are electrically connected to the circuit board. Because the plug module is rotatable and can be removed from the body, the power adapter with suitable conducting pins is available to various sockets.
