Abstract
A rotatable power strip includes a base, a cover, a fixing member fixed to the base, and a socket. Two opposite first conductive pieces and a second conductive piece between the first conductive pieces are mounted to the base. The socket is rotatably mounted to the base. A top of the socket is exposed out of the cover. Two first conductive pins and a second conductive pin are mounted to a bottom of the socket. The second conductive pin is arranged between the first conductive pins and engages with the second conductive piece. The socket is rotated around the second conductive pin. The fixing member is capable of locking the socket to a conductive position where the first conductive pins respectively engage with the first conductive pieces, and a non-conductive position where the first conductive pins respectively disengage from the first conductive pieces.
