The present invention relates to the field of electrical connectors and, more particularly, to a contact member and a contact assembly using the same. The contact member is provided with a female insertion structure which allows an adaptation contact to be electrically connected thereto. The insertion structure is provided at least two plug ports whose insertion directions are different. According to the invention, for the fact that the insertion directions of the at least two plug ports are different, an adaptation contact is able to be inserted from different directions into the insertion structure to get electrical when in use. This provides more favorable conditions for the insertion and separation between plugs and a socket than in the prior art where a single insertion port contact member is usually used. In addition, when the contact member is arranged or installed in a certain manner, it is possible to realize the insertion and separation of an electrical appliance in multiple directions.
