Kontakt‑Simon DW5.01/48 is a compact electrical switch in an anthracite plastic housing designed for standard indoor wall installations and splash‑protected locations. The switch accepts alternating current up to 250 V and carries a nominal current of 10 A. With overall dimensions of 75 × 41 mm, it fits typical mounting boxes and faceplates; the device is rated for protection classes IP20 for general indoor use and IP44 where splash protection is required.

Advantages

The DW5.01/48 combines a small footprint with robust electrical ratings suitable for residential and light commercial applications. Its plastic housing provides electrical insulation and an anthracite finish that integrates with modern interiors. Dual protection ratings (IP20/IP44) offer flexibility: IP20 for protected indoor areas and IP44 for locations exposed to occasional splashes, increasing installation options without changing the product. The nominal 10 A current rating supports typical lighting and low‑power circuits.

Suitable for

• Standard indoor wall switch installations in homes and offices
• Lighting control for LED, incandescent and fluorescent fixtures within the rated current
• Rooms subject to occasional splashes such as bathrooms or kitchens where IP44 is required
• Replacement or retrofit projects using 75×41 mm form factor faceplates

How to use

Install the Kontakt‑Simon DW5.01/48 into a compatible wall mounting box following local electrical regulations. Before connecting, switch off the supply and verify absence of voltage. Connect the line and load conductors to the switch terminals according to the wiring diagram provided with the product, ensure secure terminal tightening, and mount the unit into the frame. Restore power and test switching operation with the connected load. For installations where IP44 applies, ensure that the surrounding sealing and cover plates meet the same protection class.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch only within the specified electrical ratings: do not exceed 250 V AC or 10 A. For circuits with inductive loads or motors, verify compatibility or use an appropriately rated contactor. Ensure wiring and installation are performed by a qualified electrician and that any environment requiring IP44 protection is completed with appropriate gaskets and compatible cover accessories.
