Abstract

This invention discloses a power converter with a side socket. The housing has at least two side sockets, including a side live wire socket and a side neutral wire socket. The fuse assembly includes a fuse element; the live wire (L) socket copper clip has a downwardly extending first fuse element metal clip, and the live wire (L) pin copper clip has a second fuse element metal clip. The two ends of the fuse element are respectively placed in the first and second fuse element metal clips and electrically connected. The side sockets are any one or a combination of American, British, Chinese, Australian, or European standard sockets. This invention has a simple structure, stable conductivity, and can convert different national standard pins to those of other countries. With independent side sockets, after inserting a pin of a certain standard into the front composite socket panel, other pins can also be inserted into the side sockets for simultaneous use, improving the efficiency of the power converter.
