THPG 173067 Single porcelain electrical socket

173067 -  Outlet porcelain by THPG with or without child protection.‎ 16 A, AC 250V.‎ With Duroplast central insert.‎ With spring clips.‎ From the beginning of the electrical age and several decades to follow, the porcelain and ceramics industry was the most important provider of electrical technology: Casings, switch pieces and housings were made from this attractive material that, apart from its aesthetic qualities, has tangible technical benefits: it insulates and is extremely tough.‎ It is hard to understand why today’s porcelain material for electrical switch systems can generally only be found in industrial use.‎ This fact can only be explained by the dominant business mentality “more, faster, cheaper”.‎ The producers of technical porcelain - based primarily in the Bavarian Forest and in Thuringia - are desperately searching for new fields in which to apply their highly-developed skills.‎ We have brought together a producer of electro-technical switches from Westphalia and a producer of electro-technical porcelain from Thuringia.‎ The result is this porcelain switch system what is now for more than ten years established on the market.‎ It is both functional and pleasant in three ways: to the eye, to the touch and to the ear (thanks to the enjoyable “klack” sound of the rotary switch).‎ Further info from manufacturer on 173067 THPG
