           [0004]    The adapters of different countries are different. This is inconvenient in many fields, for example, in Europe. Currently, the network cards used are RJ11 port, and the net line is connected to two RJ11 line. For example, in UK, the telephone communication company uses UK PLUG (431PLUG) which is different from RJ11. Thereby, an internet connecting line used in French can not be used in UK since the telephone port is not matched. Thus, the user must buy an adapter or a RJ11 input port and a modem connectable to a 431A PLUG. Therefore, this induces inconvenience when one need travel through many nations.

Then it passes through the central hole  184  of the connecting terminal base  18  and then the electronic wire  12  is connected to the distal end of the terminal  13 . Then the terminal  13  is installed to the groove  183  of the connecting terminal base  18  (from the central hole of the copper piece). Then the copper terminal  13  is welded by supersonic wave to be fixed to the connecting terminal base  18 . Finally, the RJ11 base  110 , connecting terminal base  18 , copper bakelite  18 , and the male seat rotary port  17  are connected by supersonic waves.  
         [0104]    In the assembly of male seat  2  according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the four films installed with rivets and terminals on the male seat rotary port  21  (protruding piece  212 ) is placed into the four grooves  172  of the male seat rotary port  17  of the female seat  1  (having the LED indicator  16  and surge absorber  15 ). Rotation with a predetermined direction, if a “ger ger” voice is emitted, it represents that the rivet  22  has in contact with the four tips  173  of the female seat rotary port  17 . The rivets  22  at the bottom end will contact the male seat terminal  13 . By the connection of the electronic wires  24  and  12  at two sides, the metal wire  111  in the RJ11 input port is connected with the conductive pins  25  of the male seat  2 . Thus, the conversion between the rear RJ11 input port and the male seat  2  are complete. When the female seat  1  is inserted into the male seat  2  of different countries, the modem wire is inserted into RJ11 input port and the LED diode will light up. Likewise, in detaching, it is only necessary to screw out the male seat  2 . This way is suitable for male seat of any country (referring to FIGS. 25 a  to  25   s ).
