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.
