1. A charging socket, comprising:
a housing;
an electric adapter installed in the housing;
a heat conduction pad positioned to engage a charging terminal positioned in the housing, the heat conduction pad having a socket provided therein;
a temperature sensor removably positioned in the socket of the heat conduction pad, the temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of the charging terminal,
the electric adapter comprises a body and connection terminals provided in the body, and the connection terminals have input ends and output ends,
the temperature sensor has flexible leads that extend from the temperature sensor;
a first connector extending from ends of the flexible lead which are removed from the temperature sensor, which terminals of the first connector are electrically connected to the input ends of the connection terminals, so as to transmit the sensing signal of the temperature sensor to the output ends of the connection terminals;
wherein the temperature sensor is installed in the heat conduction pad to be thermally connected with the charging terminal via the heat conduction pad.
