Power sockets are a fundamental component in modern electrical infrastructure, ensuring the safe transmission and distribution of electricity in both home and industrial environments. As industries and households focus more on reliability and safety, the demand for high-quality power sockets continues to rise. As a top manufacturer in China specializing in OEM solutions for micro switches, sliding switches, tact switches, push switches, and power sockets, we are committed to delivering innovative and dependable products to global partners including brand owners, wholesalers, and manufacturers.
Power sockets are essential devices used to connect electrical equipment to the main power supply. Their applications are omnipresent—spanning from simple home appliances to heavy-duty industrial machines. The diversity in usage means these sockets must be designed according to rigorous standards and adaptable to various environments.
Industrial power sockets are tailored for demanding applications where safety, durability, and performance are non-negotiable. Residential power sockets, on the other hand, emphasize safety, style, and convenience for everyday use.
- Wall Sockets: Standard electrical outlets used in homes, designed for everyday appliances and small electronics.
- Smart Sockets: These come with advanced built-in connectivity such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, enabling remote control and energy management through mobile devices.
- USB Wall Sockets: Combine traditional socket functionality with USB charging ports, offering convenience for modern gadgets like smartphones and tablets.
- Child-Safe Sockets: Equipped with internal shutters or safety covers to prevent accidental electric shock, ideal for homes with children.
- Decorative and Modular Sockets: Designed to blend with interior decor, available in multiple styles, colors, and adjustable modular configurations.
- Waterproof and Dustproof Sockets: Constructed with sealed enclosures and protective covers, these sockets ensure safety and reliability in harsh environments such as outdoor industrial sites, agriculture, and construction.
- CEE/IEC 60309 Sockets: Standardized plugs and sockets designed to handle high voltages and currents. Commonly used in factories and for industrial machinery where secure connections are critical.
- Multi-phase Sockets: Typically used in factories and large workshops operating on three-phase power systems, these sockets are crucial for heavy-duty electrical equipment requiring stable and balanced power inputs.
- Explosion-proof Power Sockets: Designed for hazardous environments (chemical plants, mines) where flammable gases or dust are present, featuring reinforced housings and intrinsic safety features.
- High-current Sockets: Designed to supply electrical equipment that requires high amperage, featuring robust contacts and materials that can withstand high electrical stress.
Manufacturing power sockets combines precision engineering, robust material selection, and advanced automation processes. We follow a comprehensive approach to ensure every socket meets stringent global standards:
Material choice significantly impacts the durability and safety of power sockets.
- Heat-Resistant Plastics: Used for outer casings and insulating parts, these materials protect users from electric shocks, resist deformation under high temperatures, and improve fire safety.
- Reinforced Metals: Copper and brass are selected for contacts and terminals to provide excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.
- Special Coatings: Certain components are treated with anti-corrosive or anti-oxidation coatings, extending the socket's operating life, especially in challenging industrial environments.
Custom molds are designed to form the socket bodies and insulating parts through precise plastic injection. The molds ensure consistent quality and allow for intricate features such as mounting brackets and safety shutters.
Conductive elements such as pins, contacts, and terminals are stamped or machined from copper or brass sheets. These are then treated and plated—sometimes with nickel or silver—for enhanced electrical performance and wear resistance.
Components are assembled with automated machinery and manual oversight. This step includes inserting metal parts into plastic housings, fitting grounding pins, installing shutters or safety covers, and adding any smart electronics for advanced sockets.
Each power socket undergoes multiple tests to guarantee performance, safety, and compliance. These include dielectric strength tests, load endurance cycles, mechanical durability tests, fire resistance, and insulation resistance. Final products are verified against international certifications such as IEC, UL, CE, and RoHS.
