Electrical switch Kontakt-Simon AQW7/11, white plastic housing, IP54, 250 V AC, 10 A, 60×48 mm

Kontakt-Simon AQW7/11 is a compact electrical switch in a white plastic housing designed for common AC installations. It provides basic protection against dust and water splashes with an IP54 rating, operates at 250 V AC and supports a nominal switching current of 10 A. The device’s compact footprint—60 mm wide and 48 mm deep—makes it suitable for standard domestic and light commercial wiring applications where a reliable, space-saving switch is required.

Advantages

The switch combines a small form factor with an IP54-rated enclosure to balance space efficiency and environmental protection. Its white plastic housing offers a neutral appearance that integrates with common interior styles and electrical accessories. Electrical characteristics tailored to 250 V AC systems and a 10 A nominal current make it compatible with many lighting and low-power circuits, while simple mechanical construction supports straightforward installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting and control circuits
• Light commercial premises such as offices or small shops
• Indoor areas where protection against dust and water splashes is needed
• Replacement or retrofit projects requiring compact switch modules

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP54 (dust-protected and protected against water splashes)
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Nominal current: 10 A
• Housing material: white plastic
• Dimensions: 60 mm (width) × 48 mm (depth)

How to use

Install the switch into a compatible mounting box or frame following local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines. Ensure power is disconnected before making any wiring connections. Connect the live and switched live conductors to the designated terminals, secure wiring with appropriate torque, and confirm the enclosure seal to maintain IP54 protection. After wiring, restore power and test the switch operation to verify proper switching of the intended circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch for lighting circuits and low-power loads up to the stated 10 A rating. Avoid connecting inductive or high inrush loads that exceed the nominal current. For installations exposed to heavy water jets or continuous outdoor immersion, choose a higher IP-rated device. Periodically check terminal tightness and the integrity of the housing to ensure continued protection and safe operation.
