The A76 ultra-slim series switch socket combines simple elegance with an ultra-thin profile, all without compromising on its performance, safety, and durability. Upholding the idea of "capturing the essence of life and nature by design", this series features a 4.2mm ultra-thin design inspired by the gossamer wings of a dragonfly, and the large curvature of the wings is mirrored in its R800 curved button and R3.7 rounded corners. Further enhancing its sleek and ultra-slim design is a range of classic color options, including magnolia white, luxury gray, and shadow black, allowing this series to harmoniously grace the wall and flexibly blend with diverse decor styles. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this series also enhances functionality. The 4°small pendulum angle makes for smooth, responsive, and effortless switch operation. Its thoughtful layout accommodates both two-prong and three-prong outlets, optimally spaced at a diagonal distance of 47.5mm for simultaneous use. This enhances operational efficiency, furthering its commitment to user-friendly design.

The A76 ultra-slim series also stands out in terms of material selection and craftsmanship. With an integrally molded high-strength steel base, this series is highly resistant to distortion during installation, bolstering both its structural integrity and long-term reliability. Notably, the switch has undergone rigorous testing, proving its capability to withstand over 100,000 on/off cycles. The plastic used not only passed the rigorous 850℃ glow-wire test, securing a V0-level flame resistance classification, but it also boasts remarkable resistance to impacts and deformation, contributing to the overall safety and robustness of the product. This series is further enhanced by a patented forced disconnection mechanism to ensure that the two silver contact points separate stably without sticking, effectively eliminating potential switch malfunctions. Moreover, the pull-type terminal with a full-enclosure wire contact design adeptly addresses the issues of loose connections and wire damage. This prolongs the lifespans of both the switch and socket, granting users an experience that champions safety and convenience.
