Features of AC power sockets

In addition to the above basic performance parameters, the AC power socket has some other features to pay attention to. These include wear resistance, dust and water resistance, contact resistance and safety of plugs and sockets.

The wear resistance of plugs and sockets means that the more times they are inserted and removed, the more easily the contact surface of plugs and sockets is worn. Therefore, modern AC power sockets often use metal alloys or high-strength plastic materials to improve the wear resistance of plugs and sockets.

Dust and water resistance refers to the ability of the socket to protect against external dust and moisture. The socket usually uses sealant or waterproof adhesive to protect the internal conductive parts and insulation materials, thereby improving the dustproof and waterproof ability of the socket.

Contact resistance refers to the size of the resistance between the contact surface of the plug and the socket. The smaller the contact resistance, the smaller the resistance between the plug and the socket, which can ensure the stability of the power output. Therefore, modern AC power sockets often use silver alloy contacts or silver-plated conductors to reduce contact resistance.

Safety is one of the most important features of AC power sockets. The safety measures usually adopted by modern AC power sockets include overload protection, short circuit protection, leakage protection and fire protection. Among them, leakage protection is one of the most important safety measures, which can detect the leakage phenomenon in time and cut off the power supply to avoid electric shock accidents caused by electrical leakage. These include wear resistance, dust and water resistance, contact resistance and safety of plugs and sockets.
