Electrical switch Kontakt‑Simon DW1L.01/44 — plastic housing, gold, IP20/IP44, 250 V AC, 10 A, 75×41 mm

Kontakt‑Simon DW1L.01/44 is an electrical switch with a gold-coloured plastic housing designed for use with 250 V AC circuits and a nominal current rating of 10 A. The unit combines compact dimensions (75 × 41 mm) and light weight (approximately 60 g) with dual ingress protection ratings IP20 and IP44, enabling installation in standard indoor environments and locations subject to occasional moisture when placed behind compatible covers or in appropriate enclosures.

Advantages

The switch offers a balance of compact size and protection level: its IP20 rating suits dry indoor installations while the IP44 designation provides splash protection in zones where indirect moisture exposure is possible. The plastic housing reduces weight and limits corrosion risk, and the gold-coloured finish provides a consistent aesthetic for visible installations. Rated for 250 V AC and 10 A, the device is suitable for common lighting and control circuits within its electrical limits.

Suitable for

• Standard indoor lighting circuits in homes and offices
• Rooms with occasional moisture exposure such as bathrooms and kitchens when fitted according to IP44 guidance
• Retrofit installations where compact and lightweight switches are required
• Applications needing a visually coordinated gold-coloured control element

How to use

Install the switch following local electrical regulations and wiring practices. Mount the unit in a compatible mounting box or enclosure that supports the stated dimensions, secure wiring connections to the designated terminals, and ensure the supply is isolated before beginning work. For installations where IP44 protection is required, fit the switch with suitable sealed covers or place it within an enclosure that maintains the IP44 degree of protection for the complete assembly. Verify connections and test operation after restoring power.

Usage recommendations

Use this switch for low-current lighting and control circuits up to 10 A at 250 V AC. Avoid exposure to direct jets of water or installation in permanently wet locations unless additional enclosure measures are applied. Check that the mounting and surrounding accessories preserve the required IP44 protection if used in damp zones.
