Electrical switch Kontakt-Simon DW5B.01/11, white, plastic housing, IP44, 250 V AC, 10 A, 75×41 mm

Kontakt-Simon DW5B.01/11 is a white electrical switch with a plastic housing and an IP44 ingress protection rating, intended for 250 V AC circuits and a nominal current of 10 A. Its compact dimensions (75×41 mm) and lightweight design (58 g) make it suitable for mounting in domestic and light commercial environments where protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm is required. The switch features a simple on/off mechanism in a form factor compatible with standard wall mounting and surface installations.

Advantages

The switch offers IP44 protection for increased durability in areas exposed to occasional splashes. A plastic housing ensures electrical insulation and reduces product weight for easier handling during installation. Designed for 250 V AC supply and rated at 10 A, it meets common electrical requirements for lighting and small appliances. Its compact footprint (75×41 mm) allows installation in constrained spaces and in combination with other modular devices.

Suitable for

• Residential wall installations for lights and switches
• Bathrooms, kitchens, and utility areas where splash protection is needed
• Light commercial premises such as offices, small shops, and service rooms
• Retrofit projects and replacement of existing standard single-pole switches

How to use

Turn off the supply at the distribution board before installing or servicing the switch. Mount the unit in accordance with local electrical regulations and the mounting requirements for IP44-rated devices; ensure correct orientation and secure fixing to the chosen surface. Connect the live and neutral conductors as required for your circuit, and verify tight terminal connections. After installation, restore power and test the switch by operating the actuator to confirm proper electrical continuity and mechanical movement.

Usage recommendations

Use this switch for circuits up to 10 A at 250 V AC and avoid exposure to direct jets of water. For installation in permanently wet locations or outdoors without shelter, choose devices with a higher IP rating. If in doubt about wiring or circuit capacity, consult a qualified electrician.
