The electrical switch socket is also known as the light switch, wall switch, plug-in wall lamp, and Home and Depot lamp socket. It allows electrical equipment to connect to the electrical grid. The electrical grid provides alternating current to the outlet.
The switch sockets used in household appliances are mainly divided into different types:
- light switch
- wall switch
- plug in wall lamp
- Home and Depot lamp socket
Switch socket manufacture process with below five main process:
- Determine the type
- Select the suitable raw material
- Design the mold
- The injection molding process includes 5 basic steps
- Assembly and finishing
switch socket manufacturing
The main steps of switch socket manufacturing include designing the model and selecting and procurement of suitable plastic raw materials, processing and manufacturing, clamping and injection, assembly and construction, quality control, and testing.
The complex switch socket manufacturing is: the plastic material comes into the switch socket-making machine and melts in the barrel. the molten plastic is then injected into a mold where it is clamped under injection high pressure. The mold is kept closed for a specific cooling time to allow the plastic to solidify and form the shape of the switch socket. Once the melting material has cooled, the plastic hardened solidified, the mould is opened and the newly formed switch socket is ejected out of the mould.
Determine the type
The designer has to determine the light switch, wall switch, plug-in wall lamp, and Home and Depot lamp socket details like shape, dimension, weight, and any features.
Select the suitable raw material
Plastics have excellent insulation properties and are easy to shape, making them widely used in the manufacturing of electrical light switches, wall switches, plug-in wall lamps, and Home and Depot lamp sockets. Commonly used plastics include polycarbonate, ABS, and polypropylene.
Polycarbonate has high impact resistance and transparency, making it suitable for light switches, light switch covers, 7-way trailer plugs and buttons, etc.
ABS – is a common plastic material that is economical and meets the needs of general environments. ABS has toughness and durability and can be used for switch housings like light switch covers, light switch plates wall switches, etc.
Polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride are widely used due to their chemical corrosion resistance and high cost-effectiveness. It mainly produces light switches, 3-way light switches, and light switch covers.
Design the mould
According to the determined light switch, wall switch, plug-in wall lamp, and Home and Depot lamp socket drawing or samples, the customer required production capacity then to calculate how many cavities need to be designed.
The injection molding process includes 5 basic steps:
- Plasticizing
- Clamping
- Injection
- Cooling
- Ejection
Switch socket injection moulding process produces plastic products by inserting the plastic granules, raw polymer resin granules are melted into a liquid and injected into a mold, where the plastic takes the desired shape. heating them, cooling them and finally giving the shape and size of the required plastic products. It is a rapid method of producing a large number of plastic products with high precision.
Assembly and finishing
Once the light switch socket and any necessary metal parts have been fabricated, the switch can be assembled. The metal parts are inserted into the housing and the light switch covers are wired and tested to ensure proper operation.
Switch socket plastic injection molding machine price
- EXW
The ex-works price includes the value of all the materials used and all other costs related to its production, minus any internal taxes. When a seller makes a product available at a designated location, the buyer of the product must cover the transport costs.
- FOB
FOB Value = Ex-Factory Price + Other Costs, Other Costs in the calculation of the FOB value shall refer to the costs incurred in placing the goods in the ship for export, including but not limited to, domestic transport costs, storage and warehousing, port handling, brokerage fees, service charges, etc.
- CIF
Cost, insurance, and freight. represent the charges paid by a seller to cover the costs, insurance, and freight of a buyer’s order while the cargo is in transit. Cost, insurance, and freight only apply to goods transported via a waterway, sea, or ocean.
