What material is the shell of the power socket?

Switch sockets are generally made of PC, followed by nylon 66, jade powder, ABS and so on. PC is made of polycarbonate, which is a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastic with high mechanical, optical, electrical and thermal properties. Compared with other materials, PC material feels more comfortable and has excellent brightness.

The impact resistance of PC material is excellent, and it won't break with a hammer. At the same time, PC materials also have the characteristics of heat resistance and aging resistance, and will not be deformed in high temperature environment. At the same time, PC material has excellent flame retardancy and can withstand arc ablation for a long time. Therefore, PC material is the most suitable material for switch socket, and it has excellent performance in heat resistance, flame retardancy and impact resistance.

Matters needing attention in the use of power socket

Electrical plugs should be wiped frequently, otherwise dust or rust will easily accumulate at the two poles of the plug, which will increase the contact resistance between the socket and the plug, resulting in high temperature during use and affect the service life of the socket.

If it is found that the plug does not match the socket, the method of changing the size or shape of the electrical plug should be adopted. The most common method is to break the grounding pin in the three-pin plug and insert it into the two-eye socket for use.
