ZeroMatt Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The polymers used in plugs/sockets isn't allways the same but they are allways thermoset plastics, unless a certain manufacturer is specified you can't be 100% certain.

Tom Booth Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 After a google search, Nylon and Nylon/Urea is comming up quite alot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Am 100% sure they don't use nylon on fixtures like that as it's not a thermoset so could just melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 It depends on the plugs. Some are made for outdoor use, some arent. Some outdoor ones can be made from ABS.I really should know all this as my job is in the plastic injection moulding industry haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 pretty sure urea formaldehyde or ABS are the weapons of choice....you want electrical resistance, rigidity for support, tough (for protection)UF is a thermosets (as mentioned above)...compression moulded i'd say.. (2 piece old skool plugs)ABS is a thermoplastic...injection moulded (those..pre-fitted plugs)Fuse holder is usually copper....good conductor, easy to process i do materials science adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
