Is it important to do a waterproof test of the socket?And waterproof detection method for sockets

Sockets are everywhere. For example, a socket is needed to charge a mobile phone, to connect a computer, and to use an induction cooker. Sockets have penetrated into every corner of life, work, equipment, and outdoors.The function of the socket is to connect the power supply. In recent years, electric shock accidents caused by the sockets not being waterproof or not meeting the waterproof requirements have been gradually increasing, and many people and companies have paid a heavy price for this.Then the development of the waterproof function of sockets is a situation that will really affect the system's share of the socket market in the future.

Currently, there are many brands and types of waterproof sockets on the market, including traditional waterproof sockets for home use, such as triangle plugs, which can be called sockets, but they are generally not waterproof.So how is a waterproof socket determined? The measurement standard for waterproofing is IP. Currently, the highest level of waterproofing is IP68. Currently, there are many manufacturers doing waterproof testing for waterproof plugs in China, and there are many IP waterproof level testing manufacturers. However, Shenzhen Hiraysi Technology Co., Ltd. and foreign CTS are the ones that are really good at it. However, CTS does not provide waterproofing. IP waterproofing level testing solutions and tooling only provide testing instruments.Shenzhen Hirays Automation Technology is different. It can provide inspection solutions without inspection, and provides customization of inspection tooling. It also has rich inspection experience.

At present, the main evaluation standard for the waterproof performance of connectors such as sockets is based on the IP waterproof grade standard.To see the waterproof performance, mainly look at the two digits XX after IPXX. The first X is from 0 to 6, and the highest level is 6; the second digit is from 0 to 8, and the highest level is 8; therefore, the highest waterproof level of the waterproof connector is IP68.Sealing principle: Relying on up to 5 sealing rings and sealing rings to pre-tighten the seal with pressure.This kind of seal will not lose the pre-tightening force when the connector and socket expand and contract due to thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring the waterproof effect for a long time, and it is impossible for water molecules to penetrate under ordinary pressure.

There are many reasons why waterproof sockets are not waterproof or have unsatisfactory waterproofing effects during the production process. Some of them are difficult to avoid, such as poor sealing materials, deformation and other reasons that are difficult to completely control.In order to improve the quality of the product, an air tightness testing equipment is needed to detect the IP waterproof level of the socket.

You can use the air tightness detector of Shenzhen Hiraysi Automation Technology.This air tightness detector is an intelligent technology product that uses compressed air as the detection medium, which is pollution-free and has low energy consumption.The detection accuracy is as high as 0.1pa.There is absolutely no problem with testing the IP waterproof rating of the socket.The waterproof testing method of the socket is to make a relatively sealed tooling, then put the socket into the tooling and connect the air tightness detector.You can start detection with one click.After the test is completed, the quality of the socket and its leakage value can be displayed on the display screen of the air tightness tester.
