Electrical switch Kontakt-Simon AQW1/11, single-pole, 250 V AC, 10 A, IP54, white, plastic housing

Kontakt-Simon AQW1/11 is a single-pole electrical switch in a white plastic housing, intended for AC installations up to 250 V and rated for 10 A. The compact device, with overall dimensions of 60 × 48 mm and a weight of approximately 80 g, provides IP54 protection against limited dust ingress and water splashes. Its construction and rating make it suitable for indoor and semi-exposed mounting locations where a compact, basic-protection switch is required.

Advantages

The switch combines a small footprint and light weight with a standardized electrical rating of 250 V AC and 10 A, allowing straightforward replacement or installation in common circuits. The IP54 enclosure offers protection from dust and splashing water, extending possible mounting locations beyond fully indoor dry areas. The white plastic housing is easy to integrate into typical interior finishes and helps ensure visible, consistent appearance in installations.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in residential and light-commercial interiors
• Fan or small appliance control where rated current and voltage match
• Service areas, corridors and semi-exposed locations with occasional splashes
• Retrofit or replacement of existing single-pole switches with compact dimensions

How to use

Install the Kontakt-Simon AQW1/11 in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Mount the switch in a compatible flush or surface box that accommodates the 60 × 48 mm dimensions.

Usage recommendations

Use this switch only within its rated limits: 250 V AC and 10 A. For installations exposed to direct water jets, outdoor immersion, or environments with heavy dust, select a device with a higher ingress protection rating. Periodically inspect the switch for secure mounting and signs of wear; replace if mechanical or electrical faults are observed.
