Plug Sockets

Plug sockets are electrical installation accessories and key parts of every building to provide a power source to multiple ranges of devices and electrical appliances. Plug sockets feature safety recessed holes or slots that prevent energised contacts’ exposure, thus safeguarding users from electrocution or electric shocks. Safety options include recessed sockets, insulated sleeves, and blocking shutters to avoid electrical damage. The primary function of the socket is to connect or disconnect the power when required. The plug gets plugged into the socket to receive the power required to run the electrical equipment and serves as a link between electrical devices and sockets. 

The Basic Difference between a Plug and Socket

In general, the plug is the movable connector attached to the supply cord of an electrically operated device. In contrast, the socket is connected to an energised electrical circuit and is fixed to the building structure. The plug features protruding pins (male) for matching the slots/holes (female) within sockets to get the necessary power required. 

Materials of Plug Sockets

Generally, plug sockets are designed from compression and durable polymers such as brass, plastics, and thermosetting formaldehyde polymers. The casing with the inner structure is made from plastic, while brass provides a plug connection allowing the current to flow to the electrical devices.

  • Provide safety during unusual conditions.
