The development of technological electronic products has also brought great changes to life, such as smart homes, toilets, and so on. The popularity rate of smart homes is currently not very high, but it is not unfamiliar with smart toilets. So, can the USB interface we commonly use for mobile phones be directly plugged into the socket? Is it safe? How about installing a USB socket at home in a suite? Let's listen to the editor's suggestions.

1、 What is a USB socket?

USB socket is a safe and energy-saving universal socket with a USB interface, including socket themes. USB sockets belong to weak current electronic products, with an output power of about 5V.

Currently, there are several types of USB sockets available on the market:

1. Direct USB socket: No button, no indicator light or USB socket with indicator light, lower cost.

2. USB socket with button: USB socket with or without indicator light, with high safety performance

3. Automatic on/off USB socket: with or without indicator light, built-in switch, plug in to turn on the switch, pull out to turn off the switch.

2、 Is the socket with a USB charging port safe?

Most of them are secure, and those who have passed 3C certification have basically no problems.

USB sockets belong to weak current electronic products, with an output voltage of 5V and a human safety voltage of 36V. Even if touched, they are like ants biting their teeth. And good USB sockets generally have the function of automatically distributing current, which is to output current according to the needs of electronic products.

Advantages of USB sockets:

It is safer and more reliable for a family with children to buy a new one instead of losing it, avoiding children using the charger as a toy and avoiding danger.

Disadvantages of USB sockets:

However, some sockets were not designed in depth. For example, most sockets do not take into account the spacing between sockets (220V high voltage) and USB interfaces (low voltage), which may pose safety hazards after prolonged use.

In addition, compared to ordinary sockets, the purchase cost of USB sockets is higher.

Friendly reminder from the editor: When purchasing USB sockets, do not be greedy for cheap prices to avoid buying substandard products, which may pose safety hazards to families; To choose a USB socket with an indicator light, you can check if the line is unobstructed. It is best to choose a USB socket with buttons or automatic on/off, so that the USB does not need to run for a long time, consume power, and generate heat.
