Abstract
A power supply connector includes a housing and a prong unit. The housing has opposite first and second housing walls, a peripheral wall extending between the first and second housing walls to define an accommodation space, a prong slot having a first slot section formed in the peripheral wall and a second slot section formed in the first housing wall, and a pair of slide rails disposed on opposite sides of the prong slot. The prong unit includes a prong base disposed in the accommodation space, and two conductive prongs mounted on the prong base. The prong base is slidable along the slide rails so that the prongs extend out of the housing through the first slot section or the second slot section of the prong slot.
