An adapter socket is comprised of an adapter socket body 1, a cover plate 2, and a plurality of connection terminals 3. A containment recess 12 is disposed along the center of the adapter socket body, a number of separator elements 13 are situated at the front end of the said containment recess, and a receptacle 14 is formed at the rear end such that when the connection terminals are installed into the containment recess of the adapter socket body, the front ends of the prongs are ensconced between the separator elements, while the rear ends of the contiguous leads are arrayed into a staggered up and down, left to right arrangement. The cover plate is then fastened over the connection terminals to secure them firmly in position without allowing mutual contact. As such, utilizing the said structural components not only reduces fabrication cost, but provides for easy and rapid assembly and, furthermore, prevents incorrect assembly. The adapter allows a US phone plug to be connected to a UK phone socket.
