During wave soldering and reflow soldering, the soldering area of a pushbutton switch often experiences instantaneous temperatures of 250–300°C. Since the switch contains sensitive components such as contacts, springs, plastic frames, and clips, improper structural design can lead to contact performance degradation, spring annealing, plastic deformation, or clip loosening, ultimately affecting tactile feedback and reducing lifespan. To address these issues, anti-reflow structures (Anti-reflow De...

Rocker switches are commonly used control components in electronic devices, ranging from household appliances to industrial equipment and automotive electronics. The housing not only supports the internal mechanism but also directly affects the switch’s lifespan, reliability, and operating feel. Based on practical design experience, this article shares key points of rocker switch housing design from four aspects: material selection, mechanical structure, mounting method, and protection features,...

In industrial control systems, metal pushbutton switches play a crucial role as the interface between operators and machines. Though their appearance is simple, the internal mechanical design involves complex engineering considerations—especially in ensuring reliable signal output and comfortable tactile feedback. Among these, debounce design is often overlooked but directly affects the switch’s stability and lifespan....

The terminal of a power socket is the core component for electrical connection, and its material and structural design directly affect conductivity, durability, and safety. Having worked in the electrical connector industry for over twenty years, I have realized that theoretical parameters are just the foundation; true reliability comes from material selection, structural optimization, and field validation. This article shares my insights and experience regarding the use and design consideration...

In fuse holder design, terminals are the core components connecting the fuse to the circuit. Their performance directly affects the safety and stability of the entire electrical system. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, I understand that terminals are not just conductors—they ensure the long-term reliability and safety of devices. This article will analyze the material characteristics, electrical performance, and structural functions of silver-plated copper terminals in fuse hold...
