Wall switch socket selection guide

1. Materials

Material is the first element to ensure the quality of switch sockets. Currently, PC material is recognized as the best switch panel material, which has better flame retardancy, insulation, and impact resistance compared to other materials. Therefore, it is best to choose PC material for wall switch sockets.

2. Appearance

The appearance of the product can also indicate the quality of the switch socket. If the surface is smooth and the color is uniform, it is generally a good quality product. In addition, consumers also need to check whether the brand logo on the panel is clear, whether there are burrs, and so on.

3. Internal structure

The internal structure of wall switch sockets is best made of tin phosphorus bronze material, which has the characteristics of good elasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high hardness.

4. Humanized design

Nowadays, there are night indicator lights on switch panels, some of which use fluorescent coating for night indication, while others use power illumination. The power source's lighting method is more environmentally friendly and can provide consumers with softer and more comfortable lighting.

5. Security certification

Switches and sockets must pass 3C certification, ISO9000 series certification, etc., and some international brands may have obtained safety certifications from other countries and international organizations in addition to 3C certification. These certifications are generally standardized on the surface, packaging, or instructions of the product.
