Candle switch module Kontakt-Simon Simon 10 CW5C.01/41 10AX 250V quick-connect IP20 cream

Kontakt-Simon Simon 10 CW5C.01/41 is a candle-style switch module designed to control lighting circuits in indoor environments. The module is rated for 10AX at 250V and comes in a cream finish that complements Simon 10 wiring systems. Quick-connect terminals enable fast wiring during installation while IP20 protection defines it for protected indoor use.

Advantages

The switch module provides a compact candle-style form factor compatible with Simon 10 frames and accessories, allowing straightforward replacement or expansion of existing installations. With a 10AX 250V rating it supports common incandescent, LED and CFL lighting loads within the specified current and switch type limits. Quick-connect terminals reduce installation time and simplify wiring in both residential and commercial settings. The IP20 degree of protection ensures safety for typical indoor applications where exposure to liquids and heavy dust is not expected.

Suitable for

• Replacing or expanding Simon 10 switch lines in homes and apartments
• Switching indoor lighting circuits such as ceiling lights, wall lights, and small fixtures
• Quick installations where fast connection using push/quick-connect terminals is preferred
• Light commercial interiors where standard indoor protection (IP20) is acceptable

When it may not be suitable

This module is not intended for outdoor or wet locations due to its IP20 protection level and should not be used where exposure to water or heavy dust is possible. It is also unsuitable for high-current or heavy-duty loads that exceed its 10AX rating; such applications require switches or contactors rated for higher currents or specific motor/inductive loads.
