How to distinguish socket models?

How to distinguish socket models? I believe everyone knows what a socket is. Socket is a common item when decorating a house, but there are many kinds of sockets on the market, including many models. Let me share how to distinguish socket models. Let's have a look.

How to distinguish the socket model 1 what models are there?

First, three hole socket. There are only jacks suitable for inserting three-hole plugs on the panel, which are divided into 16a and 10a, as well as ordinary models and multifunctional models, and even those with and without switches.

Second and fifth hole sockets. Our common three-hole and two-hole sockets are parallel or staggered. Some can plug two holes and three holes at the same time, while others can only plug one of them.

Third, the socket with switch. There is a switch on the switch panel to control the power on. Some have only one main switch, while others have multiple switches. This kind of socket saves the trouble of always pulling the plug.

Fourth, the weak point socket. Usually refers to the sockets used by computers, televisions, telephones and other equipment. Due to the high price of back-end plug-in module, the overall price of this kind of socket is higher than that of ordinary socket.

Fifth, multi-functional sockets. It can connect both domestic plugs and foreign plugs, integrating round plugs and square plugs.

How to distinguish socket models?

When buying sockets online or in supermarkets, experienced people usually choose socket models according to their own electrical plug models. And inexperienced people don't know how to tell the model of the socket. Let's talk about how to distinguish the models of sockets.

First, look at the appearance.

Some socket models can be judged by appearance, such as three hole socket and five-hole sockets, and the jacks are different; Sockets with and without switches are distinguished by whether there is a switch on the socket panel.

Second, look at the packaging.

The package will also have a description of the parameters of the socket, such as the rated current, voltage and maximum allowable power of the socket.

Third, ask the seller

When buying a socket, ask the merchant directly the model and specific information of the socket, and the general merchant will answer you.

Fourth, look at the hole spacing.

There are also some sockets with different jack spacing, representing different models. For example, the socket and hole width of 16a socket are larger than that of 10a socket.

Fifth, look at the structure.

From the structure, we can see the difference between waterproof socket and non-waterproof socket. Waterproof sockets generally have protective sleeves, but non-waterproof sockets do not.

How to choose the socket model

To choose the type of socket, we must first understand the plug situation of home appliances, and choose the socket according to the plug, which is beyond doubt. For example, air conditioning sockets need to choose high-power 16a sockets; Two-hole plug appliances need to choose a five-hole socket.

Secondly, the specifications of the socket should be determined according to the number of electrical appliances. If there are many home appliances, it is recommended to install more five-hole sockets or use row plugs, which can save a lot of space.

In addition, the practicability of the socket should be considered. Some sockets look very practical, and there are many jacks, but one socket can't plug too many plugs at the same time. It is a bit wasteful to choose sockets with too many jacks, especially plug-in sockets.

Finally, consider the overall installation price. Socket installation is a part of home decoration, and the budget also needs to be considered. You can't just choose high-priced ones and ignore the overall installation cost; You can't choose the cheapest one, ignoring the practicality of the socket.

What should I do if I choose the wrong socket model?

The model of the socket is wrong. First, check if there are any other electrical appliances in the house that can use this socket. If so, use it for other purposes and buy a new socket. If there is really no place to use it, if the merchant allows, change it to the desired model. If these two methods fail, you can only keep them at home for later use.

When using the socket, you should not plug the electric plug into the mismatched socket casually, so as to avoid poor contact and loose plug. You can't plug high-power appliances into low-power sockets; Although the plug of low-power electrical appliances can be plugged into a high-power socket, the premise is that the plug and socket should match. If not, try not to use it like this.

Matters needing attention in purchasing socket models

1, don't choose the universal socket.

At present, the use of universal sockets has been banned in China. When choosing a socket, don't choose a socket with two holes for multiple purposes. There are many potential safety hazards in this kind of socket, which is easy to cause safety accidents.

2. Choose the model according to the actual use.

When choosing the socket type, you should not choose it too casually or blindly. The best way is to choose according to the actual use. For example, try to choose 16a socket with switch in the kitchen, which can not only support the use of high-power kitchen utensils, but also reduce the plugging and unplugging of kitchen utensils.

3. Choose regular channels to buy.

Such as official flagship stores, official website, offline authorized stores, etc. The products of these regular sales channels have been inspected by the national quality inspection and supervision department, and the socket materials are also of high quality. Even if there are problems in the use of the product, you can get relevant after-sales service.

How to distinguish between socket model 2. What are the models and specifications of sockets?

I. Socket with switch

Control the on-off power supply of the socket, which is convenient to use and can be used as a switch alone without pulling it out. Mostly used in ordinary appliances, such as microwave ovens.

Second, the multifunctional socket

The multifunctional five-hole model is N5 108, etc. (For example: series 55 five-hole multifunctional socket N5 1080). Removing a small triangular cover with five holes and three holes can be compatible with old and foreign round needle plugs, policy plugs and so on.

Third, the serial socket.

The serial socket is equivalent to two in one, a bus comes out, and the panel itself is a road, which can be connected in series to other rooms. If it is a bus to the living room, you can also string it all the way to the room. In addition, there is a multi-channel distributor without panel, which depends on electrical wiring. Also known as "one divides into two", "one divides into three" and "one divides into four".

Four, weak current socket

Refers to telephone, computer and TV sockets. Because the back-end plug-in module has a high market price, it is more expensive.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) three hole socket

Three hole socket can be divided into 10A and 16A (A stands for current), which are common and multifunctional, with and without switches.
