Hollow pins for sockets with grounding pin
Hollow pins are key contact components in sockets with a grounding pin and ensure a reliable protective earth connection. Due to their low weight, optimized bending strength, and the use of low-lead materials such as CuZn37, they offer design advantages over solid pins in modern installation systems.
