Abstract:
A conductive electrode bar structure for a double-sided multi-socket adapter panel having a plurality of plugging sockets on each side, wherein a respective pair of live and neutral plugging slots of each of the plurality of plugging sockets are aligned in a single row, and a distance of separation for some of the neighboring sockets are so far apart that even a large size plugging head can be plugged into the socket without affecting the usability of adjacent sockets, the conductive electrode structure comprises:a live conductive electrode bar fixed inside the double-sided multi-socket adapter panel, wherein the live conductive electrode bar comprises a plurality of live electrode plates located at such a position that each live plugging slot of the electrode plugging slots has one live electrode plate inside, and the live electrode plate is so constructed that when a plug is plugged into the plugging socket, a live plugging pin of the plug can make proper contact with the live electrode plate; anda neutral conductive electrode bar fixed inside the double-sided multi-socket adapter panel, wherein the neutral conductive electrode bar comprises a plurality of neutral electrode plates located at such a position that each neutral plugging slot of the electrode plugging slots has one neutral electrode plate inside, and the neutral electrode plate is so constructed that when the plug is plugged into the plugging socket, a neutral plugging pin of the plug can make proper contact with the neutral electrode plate, wherein the live and neutral electrode plates of each socket are aligned with the single row.
