These are the critical internal parts that ensure a socket's safety and electrical conductivity.

 

1. Conductive Components (Contact Sleeves/Copper Strips): Typically manufactured from integrally stamped tin-phosphor bronze - often reaching a thickness of 0.6 mm - these components serve to ensure a tight connection with the plug and facilitate excellent electrical conductivity. These metal spring contacts constitute the core hardware of the socket and are available in various specifications to accommodate different socket configurations.

 

2. Safety Shutters (Protective Gates): A vital safety feature, these components are constructed from materials such as glass-fiber reinforced nylon. They incorporate a single-pole insertion prevention design to effectively guard against accidental contact by children, boasting a service life of over 10,000 plug-in/plug-out cycles.

 

3. Switches and Buttons: Used to control the opening and closing of electrical circuits, these include rocker switches, tactile switches, illuminated switches, and similar devices. They are widely utilized in power strips, electrical appliances, and industrial control systems.
