    What are the factors that need to be considered when choosing a C13 US power outlet?

    There are many types of power sockets on the market, and there are many standards. The US regulations, European regulations, and regulations are the first considerations for the use of power sockets. Secondly, we must consider some elements of power sockets and use power sockets reasonably. The most powerful feature of your product.

    (1) The rated current value of the socket should be selected according to the nature of the load. When the socket is used, the starting current is very large. If the selected socket does not receive the impact of the starting current within the requested time, the contact of the socket will arc, causing the socket contacts to be welded together or formed by the arc splash. Damage to the socket.

    (2) The socket for the mains power supply should pay attention to its insulation resistance, and the socket with non-metal operation handle is the best choice.

    (3) The voltage of the socket application circuit should be less than the rated voltage of the socket.

    (4) Because the socket is connected to the circuit, the quality of the contact will directly affect the load of the circuit. Therefore, sockets with small contact resistance should be used in circuit design; when designing low-power circuits and if necessary, contact sockets with gold should be used.

    (5) The selection of the mechanical life and electrical life of the socket shall be determined according to the application. Where the switch is frequently turned on, off, and the load is not large, the mechanical life should be emphasized when selecting the switch; when the switch receives a large power, the switch should be focused on its electrical life.
