Fake and shoddy products emerge one after another in the market. How to identify the true and false Siemens switch? This paper will provide you with detailed identification methods from two aspects: appearance and packaging details.

Double anti-counterfeiting mark

Now Siemens switches are equipped with double anti-counterfeiting marks. If you only see a single anti-counterfeiting logo, it is likely to be a fake. However, please note that the double anti-counterfeiting mark may also be false, which needs to be identified by other methods.

Glossy surface

The surface of genuine Siemens switch is shiny, while the surface of fake switch is dull. At the same time, genuine products are made of PC, and imitations are mostly made of ABS.

Appearance structure

Authentic Siemens switches are unsightly in appearance, and their structures are modeled after the 4.0 series developed by TCL97 in 1997. If the Siemens switch you bought looks beautiful, it is probably a knockoff version.

Back seat color and smell

The back seat of the genuine Siemens switch is black, while the cottage version is mostly transparent. In addition, the genuine switch has no pungent smell with its nose, while the imitation has.

Socket copper sheet

The copper sheet of genuine Siemens socket is phosphor copper, and the color inside and outside the knife is the same. The fake copper sheet is brass plated with phosphorus and copper, and the inside and outside colors are different.

Packaging quality

Siemens switch socket packaging bag is very textured and not easy to tear. If the quality of the packaging bag is not good and it is easy to tear, it is probably a fake.

Socket protection door

Siemens sockets are equipped with protective doors, which can effectively prevent children from getting an electric shock. If there is no protective door, it is probably fake.

Model and identification

For example, there is a black Siemens English brand logo at the bottom of the outer frame of Yuan Jing series single-link single-control switch, a computer ink-jet printing with model 5ta0201-kloc-0/cc1below the function key (the single-control switch button has a red dot, and the red dot is upward), the national compulsory certification standard 3C logo and the production date are on the top, and a raised mark similar to Siemens English steel seal is on the top. For other series of products, there are also corresponding logos and models to pay attention to.

Warranty specification

Each function key package of Siemens contains product warranty instructions. If there is no warranty, it is probably a fake.
