All You Need to Know About A-Slim Light Switches And Electrical Socket

The Slim series of electrical switch sockets are very special. Our original intention in the design is to revolve around a topic “switches thinner than mobile phones”.

Its birth is challenging, not as simple as it looks thinner because a 1.5° swing angle and 6.5MM thickness makes it difficult to reach the product enough travel, which requires a lot of design time.
Of course, that didn’t stop us. We adopted the internal card split structure to meet the switch button’s travel so that the product’s button is large and thin simultaneously.

The combination of different materials and appearances makes this series have excellent sales in Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America. If you are still thinking about how to choose a new home switch design, you might as well select A-Slim as your First choice.

British Standard light Switch Electrical Socket Parts

British Standard Light Switch Part

Button

PC (Polycarbonate) plastics above V1 flame retardant grade are used. The flame retardant grade is very important, which means the degree of safety.

Decorative Bracket

It acts as a fixed decoration and makes the home switch design look more complete.

Switch Swing Contact

This is a small button inside a switch on which the big button will be assembled.

Bottom Fixed Plate

It is the fixing device of the whole lighting switch. The design precision of this part determines whether the lighting switch is firm and whether it is easy to assemble.

Terminals and Contacts

This part’s material greatly influences the service life of the lighting switch and is generally dominated by brass fittings and silver cadmium oxide contacts.
If the light switch does not use brass fittings and silver cadmium oxide contacts or better, please do not buy it, this is a very dangerous product, and there is a risk of burning during use.

How do light switches and electrical socket work?

British Standard Light Switch Part

Light switches work by connecting to the wires in your home. When you turn on the light switch, it sends a signal to the light and turns the light on. When you turn off the light switch, the switch is disconnected from the wiring and the light goes out.

British Standard Electrical Socket Part

The socket has a number of different parts that work together to provide power to your appliances. The first part is the metal strip that runs down the middle of the socket. This is where you plug in your appliance cord. The metal strip is also electrically connected to the two side terminals, which are used to connect the socket to the wall.

Types of Lighting Switches and Electrical Sockets

Lighting/Electrical Switches Types

A1 1 gang

1 Gang 1 Way/1 Gang 2 Way

1 Gang 1 way is a switch to control the light.

1 Gang 2 Way is two switches that can control the same light at the same time.

a1 2 gang

2 Gang 1 Way/2 Gang 2 Way

2 Gang 1 Way is a switch to control 2 lights.

2 Gang 2 Way is two switches can control 2 lights on one line at the same time

4 Gang 2 Way is two switches can control 4 lights on one line at the same time

Doorbell Switch

The doorbell switch is similar to the 1 gang, the difference is that it has a built-in reset device, press the button to power on, and release the button to automatically reset and power off.

Double-Pole(DP) Switches

Double-Pole Switches is a switch that installs two single-pole switches together

There are 20A and 45A, which are usually used in high-power appliances such as cookers and ovens.

: It is one switch + a speed control/dimming module, which is

Speed/Dimmer Switch

Judging The Quality Of Lighting Switches And Electrical Sockets By Material

We make a preliminary judgment through plastic, copper, contacts, and Chrome process:

Plastic particles

#1 Plastic Particle

Plastic products are used in various fields, but PC and nylon are the most used in the production process of lighting switches and power sockets. Compared to nylon plastic, PC plastic is more malleable.Generally, it meets the requirements of PC plastics required for production. The flame retardant grade is ≥V1.

How to judge whether PC plastic meets the standard?

The easiest way to do this is to ignite the plastic with a lighter and start timing when the plastic burns. If the flame is extinguished within 30 seconds and the plastic does not melt and drip, it can be judged acceptable.

#2 Copper Material

The material of copper is also very critical, it directly determines the service life of the product and the temperature inside the switch socket when it is powered on. The worse the copper is used, the greater the risk of the switch socket burning in use.

How to judge whether the copper material is marked?

Generally, the switches of products that meet the standard are made of H66 brass, and the sockets are made of phosphor bronze. Thickness ≥ 0.7mm, only with such a thickness can long-term use be guaranteed. After all, electricity safety is very important.

Silver contacts.

#3 Silver contacts

Switches and sockets must use silver contacts, because silver has good electrical conductivity, but it is too expensive to use silver alone.

How to judge the quality of contacts?

The silver contact points that meet the standard are made of silver cadmium oxide composite material, and the thickness is ≥3MM and the diameter is ≥3.5MM. Only a silver cadmium oxide of this size can guarantee the passage of electric current.

#4 Chrome Craft

The chrome process has become very mature after years of development and is widely used in the design of switch socket products. Still, most factories cannot achieve complete insulation of sockets processed by the Chrome process.

How to judge that the Chrome layer of the socket is wholly insulated?

The easiest way to judge is to check whether the electrical outlet is below or above the horizontal.
If it is lower than the horizontal surface, there is a high probability that the Chrome process will conduct electricity, and there will be a risk of electric shock during use.
