Electrical switches and sockets are fundamental components for controlling and distributing power in electrical systems, with switches interrupting or connecting circuits and sockets providing a point of connection for appliances.
Electrical Switches:
Function:
Switches are binary devices that either open or close an electrical circuit, allowing or preventing the flow of electricity.
Types:
Toggle/Tumbler Switches: Common for controlling lights and other loads.
Push-button Switches: Used for short bursts of electricity, like in doorbells or emergency stops.
Key Lock Switches: Provide enhanced security by requiring a key for operation.
Micro Switches: Used in applications requiring precise control, like fire alarms or door releases.
Specifications:
Current Rating: The maximum amount of current the switch can handle (e.g., 5A, 15A).
Voltage Rating: The maximum voltage the switch can withstand.
Number of Poles: Refers to the number of circuits the switch can control (e.g., single-pole for one circuit).
Material: Typically made with flame-retardant materials for safety.
Safety Features: May include surge protection, child safety shutters, and flame-retardant materials.
Electrical Sockets (Outlets):
Function:
Sockets, also known as outlets or receptacles, provide a point of connection for plugging in appliances and equipment.
Types:
Two-pin Sockets: Provide an ungrounded connection.
Three-pin Sockets: Include a ground pin for safety.
Five-pin Sockets: Used for complex systems that need both a neutral connection and grounding capabilities.
Industrial Sockets: Designed for higher voltages and currents, often with weatherproof covers or interlocks.
Universal Sockets: Support both 6A and 16A plugs for wider compatibility.
Specifications:
Current Rating: The amount of current the socket can safely handle (e.g., 5A, 15A, 20A).
Voltage Rating: The voltage the socket is designed for (e.g., 120V, 240V).
Number of Pins: Determines the type of plug that can be used.
Material: Typically made with heat-resistant plastic for safety.
Safety Features: May include surge protection, child safety shutters, and flame-retardant materials.
