What Is a Weatherproof Socket?

Waterproof socket is a plug with waterproof performance, and can provide safe and reliable electrical, signal and other connections. For example: LED street lights, LED driving power supplies, LED displays, lighthouses, cruise ships, industrial equipment, communication equipment, detection equipment, commercial squares, highways, villa exterior walls, gardens, parks, etc., all need to use waterproof sockets.

For more than 200 years since electricity entered human life, electricity leakage accidents, electric spark explosions, and short circuits have occurred frequently. China suffers more than 10,000 electric shock casualties each year, with losses exceeding 20 billion yuan. Leakage from swimming pools and fountains hurt people, electric shocks occurred during bathing, and children touching sockets caused injuries and other common reports.

There are many brands and types of waterproof sockets on the market, including traditional household waterproof sockets, such as triangle plugs, etc., which can be called sockets, but they are generally not waterproof. So how is the waterproof socket judged as IP? The highest level of waterproofing is IP68. There are many domestic manufacturers of waterproof plugs, but there are relatively few industrial and household sockets. It is very inconvenient to use the plug for general appliances.

The main evaluation standard for waterproof performance of waterproof connectors is based on the IP waterproof rating standard. Look at the waterproof performance of the waterproof connector. It mainly depends on the last two digits XX of IPXX. The first digit X is from 0 to 6, the highest level is 6. The second digit is from 0 to 8, the highest level is 8. Therefore, it is waterproof. The highest waterproof rating of the connector is IP68. Sealing principle: rely on up to 5 seal rings and seal rings to pre-tighten the seal with pressure. This kind of seal will not lose the pre-tightening force during the thermal expansion and contraction of the connector, and it will ensure the waterproof effect for a long time. It is impossible for water molecules to penetrate under ordinary pressure. (Can work for a long time at a depth of less than 2M)

Domestic outdoor waterproof socket, 220V 10A three-plug, two-plug plug can be used in non-protected state to meet the home. (The protection level IP66 can meet the needs of the family. IP66 is violently sprayed in all directions without water, soaked in 1 meter of water for 1 hour without water.) It should be noted that outdoor sockets are generally made of PC, and anti-aging should be considered.

Many people do not know that there are already 10A fingerprint outdoor waterproof and storm-proof sockets in the home. Use the indoor splash-proof box instead of the waterproof socket. The splash-proof box can only be splash-proof, not directly exposed to rain and aging. It is not safe, and the service life is also because the UV service life will not exceed one year.

A limited company founded in Chengdu by the "post-85s" youth maker Zhou Gang has not been afraid of water outlets, and will be put into operation at the end of 2017. Zhou Gang's self-developed FS (Fence out Something) insulation connection technology has solved the three major safety problems of the traditional bare connection technology: leakage, short circuit, and arc, and achieved both insulation and current ^[1] .
