Electrical switch Kontakt‑Simon DW1.01/43, plastic housing, silver, 250V AC, 10A, IP20/IP44, 75×41 mm

Kontakt‑Simon DW1.01/43 is a single-pole electrical wall switch with a plastic housing and a silver finish. It is designed for use on 250 V AC circuits with a nominal switching current of 10 A. The compact front plate measures 75 × 41 mm, providing a space-efficient solution for residential and light commercial interiors. The device is specified with IP20 protection for standard indoor installations and an IP44 rating where required, ensuring basic protection against solid objects and splashing water in applicable mounting conditions.

Advantages

The switch combines a compact footprint with a durable plastic housing and a corrosion-resistant silver finish, supporting reliable everyday switching at mains voltage. Rated for 10 A at 250 V AC, it is suitable for typical lighting and low-power circuit loads. The available IP44 resistance in appropriate installations extends protection against moisture and ingress, while the IP20 rating describes standard indoor safety. The straightforward design simplifies installation in standard wall boxes and reduces visual impact in interior applications.

Suitable for

• Switching lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Light commercial premises such as offices or small retail spaces
• Rooms where a compact, single-pole wall switch is required
• Indoor areas where occasional splashing may occur, when mounted to provide IP44 protection

How to use

Install the Kontakt‑Simon DW1.01/43 in a compatible single-gang wall box following local electrical codes and safety practices. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Connect the live conductor to the common terminal and the switched conductor to the output terminal; secure earth and neutral connections according to the circuit design and applicable regulations. After mounting the device into the wall box and fastening the front plate, restore power and verify correct switching operation on the controlled load.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch within its rated limits: 250 V AC and up to 10 A. For installations exposed to moisture or outdoors, ensure the mounting and surrounding enclosure provide the conditions required to achieve IP44 protection. Do not exceed the nominal current; for higher loads or specialized circuits, choose a switch with appropriate current and protection ratings. Periodically check for secure connections and proper mechanical operation as part of routine electrical maintenance.
