switches and Contacts

Electrical switches and sockets are an essential part of any residential, office and industrial power transmission network. With the introduction of technology into our daily lives, customer requirements for maximum comfort and functions, as well as a variety of shapes and colors play an essential role in the selection of suitable mounting brackets, sockets and switches.

Electrical contacts

Electrical sockets are the points where we can connect different electrical appliances or lighting fixtures to the electrical network. They are designed to ensure safety and reliability in the use of electricity. The contacts are made of strong materials that are good conductors of electricity and are provided with a mechanism that locks them in their position to prevent unwanted movement or interruption of the electrical connection or overheating of the plug or damage to the electrical device caused by a short circuit. They can usually handle an input voltage of 110~230 VAC and a current of 10~16 A depending on the type and country in which they will be used.

Electric switches for lighting

Light switches, on the other hand, are devices that allow us to turn on and off as well as control the lighting in a room. They are mounted on the wall or included in the electrical installation and are used to control lighting fixtures, as well as to create comfort in the home or office. Light switches can be single or double (in series), depending on the number of settings available, as well as the number of electrical circuits they must control. They can also be fitted with additional features such as dimming or timers, or be diverted and switched as part of complex electrical or lighting systems. They can usually handle an input voltage of 110~230 VAC and a current of 6~10 A depending on the type and country in which they will be used, as well as the way the electrical system is structured and the load they will manage.

Functionality, electricity, sockets

Consumers increasingly need convenience all around them, from additional sockets with USB sockets for charging phones and tablets, audio sockets, sockets with HDMI sockets, RCA sockets, smart switches and sockets that are managed from a distance and other pampering for maximum comfort. Schneider's Asfora, Unica and Odace series are distinguished by impressive design and a huge abundance of functions. Panasonic's Karre Plus series is also worth noting.

Types of sockets, switches and sockets:

• for embedding (internal installation);
• surface (external) mounting;

 

• assembled (whole product);
• mechanisms without a decorative frame;
• mechanisms with mounting frame;

 

• moisture resistant with cover;

Warning!

We must emphasize that electrical outlets and light switches must be installed and maintained by qualified electricians. Improper installation or damage to these devices can lead to serious accidents or fires, as well as to the burning of the corresponding electrical appliances and the voiding of their warranty. Therefore, it is important to avoid their independent installation or repair and to create conditions for regular inspection and maintenance.

Colors, design, decoration, frames

While the positioning of your sockets and switches in the premises comes down to their number, location and functionality, the choice of a decorative frame, although influenced by design trends, usually comes down to personal preference. The key to the right finish is the choice of these decorative frames that suit the interior and beautify the walls to the maximum. Most series of switches and sockets have variants that are complete with a frame, but allow to be combined with frames of the same series in different colors, which allows their replacement or creativity.
