2 Pin Socket

Designing a robust and reliable 2-pin AC socket using SolidWorks involves creating a detailed digital representation of the component. The process begins by launching SolidWorks and selecting the "New" option from the start menu to initiate the creation of a new part. Next, choose the "Part" template as the basis for the project, then click on the "OK" button to proceed. A blank sheet appears ready for design work. The first step is to define the dimensions and specifications of the 2-pin AC socket. This includes setting the overall size, pin diameter, spacing between pins, and other critical parameters. Using the SolidWorks toolbox, select the necessary geometric tools to create the necessary features. To create the socket body, use the "Extrude" tool to generate a solid from a sketch of the required shape. The sketch should include the dimensions for the overall size, pin locations, and any additional features such as mounting holes or insulation gaps. Once the socket body is created, add the pins using the "Cylinder" feature in SolidWorks. Define their diameter, length, and location to match the specifications. Next, use the "Move/Copy" tool to position the pins within the socket body accurately. To complete the design, add any additional features such as mounting holes or insulation gaps, and save the part as a SolidWorks file for future reference or manufacturing purposes.
