Compact electrical adapter for mounting to a panel connector of a computer

An adapter assembly, comprising:

• a panel connector which has a mating face exposing to a panel of an electrical device;
• an adapter engaging with the panel connector exposing to the panel of the electrical device, comprising:
• a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the PCB having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
• a first connector having a plurality of first electrical terminals received therein, the first connector being mounted to the first end on the first surface of the PCB with the terminals extending through and soldered with the PCB, the first connector having a mating port facing away from and oriented perpendicular to the first surface of the PCB;
• a second connector having a plurality of second electrical terminals received therein, the second connector being mounted to the second end on the second surface of the PCB with the terminals extending through and soldered with the PCB, the second connector having a mating port facing away from and oriented perpendicular to the second surface of the PCB, the first connector being offset from the second connector with a distance along a vertical direction from the first end of the PCB to the second end of the PCB;
• wherein the first connector of the adapter engages with the panel connector of the electrical device, and the PCB of the adapter is substantially parallel to the panel of the electrical device thereby reducing a distance between the second connector of the adapter and the panel of the electrical device;
• and
• said adapter further includes a pair of screw caps exposed on the first surface for mating with corresponding screws of a first mating connector, and a pair of screws extending through the second surface, with a pair of operating screw heads exposed on the first surface, for screwing with corresponding screw caps of a second mating connector.
