Abstract: A potential switching apparatus for a power adapter which transforms input power to output power delivered through a power output cord. The potential switch apparatus switches the potential of the output power. It includes a first body and a second body located on the power output cord. The first body has a first contact and a second contact. The second body has a switch element connectable to the first contact to deliver the output power at a first potential and connectable to the second contact to deliver the output power at a second potential. Thus the potential of the output power can be switched. The present invention improves the conventional potential switch device on the power adapter that is too bulky in size.

Abstract: A parent-child leadframe type transformer includes a ferrite core module, a child leadframe and a parent leadframe. The parent leadframe has a first opening and a second opening on both ends. The length of the second opening is greater than the length of the first opening along the same axial direction. A containing space is defined between the first and second openings. The child leadframe has a coil winding slot and a through hole for installing the ferrite core module. The axial length of the child leadframe falls between the first and second openings, such that the child leadframe and the ferrite core module can be passed through the second opening, but limited by the first opening. The child leadframe, ferrite core module and parent leadframe are positioned to define a parent-child type transformer structure for reducing the overall height and complying with the safety regulation standards.
