Electrical adapter

A method for assembling a screw member with an adapter which includes a dielectric body having opposite poles, a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector attached to the opposite poles, respectively, the method comprising steps of:

• providing one of the opposite poles with a slot opened in a top face and a side face thereof, and a through hole below and communicating with the slot;
• inserting the screw member from above of the dielectric body into the slot;
• rotating the screw member toward another pole opposite to lie the screw member down;
• and
• pushing the screw member forward to extend beyond another opposite side face of the one of the opposite poles.

An electrical connector device comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a mating portion in a front-to-back direction;
• a through hole extending horizontally through said housing along said front-to-back direction;
• a vertical slot downwardly extend from a top face of the housing toward and reaches said through hole, said vertical slot further extending toward and through an inside face of the housing so as to form a planar communication with said through hole;
• and
• a screw member defining a post with a cap and a threaded portion at two opposite ends thereof;
• wherein
• the screw member is inserted into the housing first with the post and the threaded portion, except the cap, extending into the vertical slot in a downward direction;
• said screw member further rotates about an intersection of said through hole and said slot to have the post sweep pivotally downwardly to reach the through hole and be ready to move in said front-to-back direction.
