Although the socket is small, it is an indispensable electrical accessory in every household. Small sockets not only play a pivotal role, but are also related to people's personal safety. Because of improper storage when purchasing sockets or misunderstandings in use, it may cause dangerous accidents that are extremely harmful. Electrical failures and fire accidents caused by switch sockets are not rare every year. Most of the new products launched by regular manufacturers are often imitated by unscrupulous merchants within 60 days, but because they have not mastered the core technology and selected high-quality materials, they are similar in appearance but different in spirit. Therefore, be sure to choose high-quality and safe brand switch sockets when buying.

　　 In the face of most people's confusion when buying switch sockets, and the mixed situation of various good and bad switch sockets on the market, the editor has integrated some methods for selecting safe sockets, so that everyone can take home safe and reliable high-quality sockets.


　　 look at the logo

　　 When buying, pay attention to the logo on the switch socket base: whether there are signs of 3C certification, rated current, trademark, etc., observe whether there is a clear manufacturer's address and telephone number on the product box, and whether there is a manual and a certificate of conformity in the package. Editor's note: The general switch rated current is 10A. When using some high-power electrical appliances, you should try to choose a switch with a large rated current (for example, the rated current is 16A), so as to avoid the switch being burned by the instantaneous high current when the switch is energized.


　　Second look at the appearance and feel of the switch socket

　　 The appearance should be smooth and smooth, with uniform color, and a certain degree of hardness and weight. When buying, you can try to flip the switch gently. The high-quality products feel crisp and smooth, while the inferior products have a very soft feel or obvious resistance, and the phenomenon of the switch being stuck in the middle position often occurs.

　　 three look design

　　 incorporates the design of science and technology, it is safer to use, and the details are humanized.

 
　　Four look at insulating materials

　　Insulating materials are very important for the safety performance of switch sockets. From the appearance point of view, a good material has no bubbles, a hard texture, and is difficult to scratch. After molding, the structure is tight and the weight is heavier. Some inferior products on the market are mostly processed by PC regrind, with high impurity content and low heat resistance. Better, what's more, use mixture or ABS instead of PC material. The product not only has poor impact resistance and heat resistance, but also looks rough and easy to change color.

　　Five look at internal conductive parts materials

　　 Because some components of the switch socket are installed inside the wall, the copper sheet is easy to be damp and rusted. After rust, the resistance becomes larger and it is easy to generate heat during work. If the heat accumulates too much, it will cause a fire hazard.

　　Six smell of product smell

The cover and frame of the high-end switch socket are made of high-quality imported PC material, which is non-toxic and has no obvious smell. The rear seat is made of imported odorless PA66 nylon material, and the product has no obvious plastic smell. Inferior switch socket products use more materials, ABS, nylon, PVC and other recycled mixed miscellaneous materials, which not only have obvious plastic odor, but are also prone to discoloration and yellowing.
