Abstract
Abstract An electrical adapter includes a housing, and first and second connectors. The housing includes a first housing part, and a second housing part that is transverse to the first housing part, that extends from the first housing part, and that has a size different from that of the first housing part. The first housing part and the second housing part cooperatively define a recess therebetween. The first connector is mounted on the first housing part. The second connector is mounted on the second housing part, is coupled to the first connector, and has a midpoint that lies in different horizontal plane from that of the first connector.
