How to choose a switch and socket? How to choose a switch socket

First and foremost, it is important to consider the quality, generally from the perspective of whether the material of the product is safe and durable. For example, in the selection of materials for switch panels, PC flame retardant materials will be used for better ones. Secondly, in terms of internal structure, try to choose silver alloy contacts, which are better in hardness and conductivity.

Delixi's switch socket has always been a very good quality among domestic brands, it is recommended to buy.

You can't buy sockets randomly, teach you a good way to choose sockets, try them.

1. Look at the appearance

The style and grade of the switch should be consistent with the overall style of the interior. White switches are the mainstream, and the overall tone of most interior decorations is light, and in most cases, dark switches such as black and brown should not be used.

2. By feel

Most of the high-quality switches are made of bulletproof glue (PC) and other advanced engineering plastics, with good fire performance (flame retardant), moisture-proof performance, impact resistance, ultraviolet resistance, etc., and good surface texture. Generally speaking, products with a rough surface and a thin, brittle feel to the touch cannot be trusted in various properties. The panel of a good switch socket requires no bubbles, no scratches, and no smudges.

The switch toggle feels light and not tight, the jack of the socket needs to be equipped with a protective door, and the plug should require a certain amount of force and cannot be inserted with one foot.

3. Weigh the portions

When buying a switch, you should also weigh the weight of the individual switch. High-grade switch socket should have enough weight, high-end products generally will not cut corners, very light products must have the suspicion of cutting corners, should be cautious when purchasing, because only the copper inside the switch is thick, the weight of a single switch will be heavy, and the copper inside is the most critical part of the switch, if it is alloy or thin copper will not have the same weight and quality.

4. Choose a brand manufacturer

It is best to choose products from regular and professional manufacturers. Because of the switch. Quality is related to the normal use of electrical appliances and even the convenience of life.

The switches produced by many small manufacturers are sometimes very unreliable, and it doesn't take long at all, and it is obviously very troublesome to replace them frequently; But there are also some well-known brands that are not professional switch and socket manufacturers, and even some are OEM to small factories, and the product quality can not be fully controlled, so when purchasing products, we should choose regular and professional manufacturers' products, and regular products will generally make effective commitments to consumers, such as "guarantee 12 years of service life", "can be continuously switched on and off 40,000 times" and so on.

5. Choose service

As far as possible, go to the store or sales point designated by the regular manufacturer to buy, and keep the shopping voucher, so as to ensure that you can enjoy the after-sales service in the future.

6. Look at the logo

Pay attention to the necessary identification on the base of switches and sockets: such as national compulsory product certification (CCC), rated current and voltage value; Product model, origin (made in China), wiring identification, etc.

7. Look at the packaging

The product packaging should be standardized and complete, the design and printing should be exquisite, and there should be a clear trademark, manufacturer's address, **, company** and other information, including instructions for use and certificates, accessories and screws, etc. The outer packaging of the product has the latest counterfeit detection barcode.

Flush-mounted junction box.

Like the wall installation socket, the switch socket installed on the wooden board also needs to be used with the junction box - there are many informal custom furniture common, when encountering the wall switch socket, directly dig a small hole in the wooden board, and fix the switch socket on the wooden board, this practice is wrong

The flame retardancy of the wooden board obviously does not meet the standard of electrical materials, and the direct contact with the conductor is very likely to ignite the wooden board and cause a fire when the switch and socket are heated and ignited. The correct way is to dig a hole in the wooden board that is the same as the size of the junction box, and then pull the junction box in the wall a little outward, and fix the switch socket directly on the cassette, and the binding post part should not touch the wooden board.

Surface-mounted junction box.

The cassette has already been secured? We also have the option of an exposed junction box – pull the wires out of the cassette, install another exposed junction box on the wooden board, and install a switch socket on the new junction box.

The difference between surface-mounted junction boxes and mounting junction boxes is that surface-mounted junction boxes are smaller in thickness and closed on all sides, which also looks better. To put it bluntly, it meets the requirements of direct exposure to the air and is more beautiful (in fact, if it is not ugly, it is okay to use the cassette directly).

It should be noted that the wires need to be threaded through the plank, and the wires should not be allowed to touch the planks directly.

Surface-mounted switch sockets.

Better looking than the surface-mounted junction box is the surface-mounted switch socket. Its thickness is smaller, the junction box and the switch socket are integrated, and the installation is more open and convenient - there is no need to fix the junction box and then the switch socket, only one fix.

The installation requirements and methods of surface-mounted switch sockets are the same as those of surface-mounted junction boxes, so I will not say more.

How to choose between Mingjing bridge junction box and surface-mounted switch socket: if you want the same style of product as other switch sockets, or if there are leftover switch sockets during decoration, you can choose the surface-mounted junction box - it can be used with ordinary switches and sockets. If there is no requirement in this regard, you can directly choose the surface-mounted switch socket.

Although it is more expensive to choose a big brand, it is safe and quality***. Thank you.

Switch sockets are divided into specifications by size:

1. Switch 86 type is China's standard switch panel size, 86 type refers to the switch socket product is length * width = 86 * 86mm, installation hole spacing is 60mm, this specification of the product has the widest range of application. This switch panel is widely used, can be directly fixed on the wall, the shape is relatively simple, fashionable and generous, and the use is relatively easy and convenient, which is an indispensable choice for the switch panel in decoration.

2. Switch 120 type refers to the length * width = 120 * 78mm of the switch socket product, and the installation hole spacing is respectively: , which is a vertical design.

3. Switch 118 type is a representative of the free combination of socket switch panels, which refers to the length * width of the switch socket product = 118 * 78mm, and the installation hole spacing is: . The panel has many functions and supports the use of different points, which can be divided into single, medium and long, with the medium type being 153*86mm and the long type being 198*86mm.

4. Switch 146 type: On the basis of 86 type, switch 146 type is also used more, which is a change of 86 type. The size of the switch 146 type is about 86*146mm, the center hole spacing is, the overall size is relatively large, and it can also be common in decoration, ensuring a good and stable use effect.

5. Switch 75 type: Switch 75 type is one of the early models used in China, with a size of about 75*75mm, although it is not commonly used today, it is still used in some special fields. When choosing, it is necessary to make basic considerations first, reduce safety problems, and reduce the risk of use.
