Switches and sockets seem to be very insignificant in decoration materials, but we use them every day, so we should know how to identify the advantages and disadvantages when purchasing
switches and sockets seem to be very insignificant in decoration materials, but we use them every day, so we should know how to identify the advantages and disadvantages when shopping
look at the panel
the plastic used for high-quality products has a certain toughness and is not easy to break, but the plastic used for low-quality products is often brittle and breaks with a little force. In addition to the function of protecting the internal materials of the switch, good plastics also have better flame retardancy than inferior ones, and their safety performance is much higher
look at the rocker
open the switch panel and you can see a piece of plastic that can be moved. This is the rocker. Generally speaking, whether the switch feels comfortable or not mainly depends on the rocker. The rocker of high-quality products is very wide, while the rocker of low-quality products is very narrow, so the rocker of low-quality products is easy to break or dislocation
look at copper
the main material inside the switch and socket is copper. The copper surface used by high-quality products has been treated with oxidation resistance, which has metallic luster but will not be very bright. The copper color of poor quality products is very bright, because their surface is coated with a layer of metal, which has a good appearance, but it will "show its original shape" soon
look at the jack
from the jack of the socket, high-quality products can't see copper, because it protects both double hole and three hole sockets. However, some inferior products only protect the double holes, and the red copper pieces can be seen when you look into the three hole socket, which poses a hidden danger to the safety of family members, especially children
look at the logo
the trademark is an important basis for consumers to choose, but it must be clearly identified. The "clafrsl" in the figure is a fake "Clipsal" (Qisheng). In addition to being labeled on the surface, high-quality products will also be marked with "3C" logo and product number inside
