Kontakt‑Simon AQW2/11 is a compact electrical switch in a white plastic housing designed for installations where moderate current switching and basic environmental protection are required. The switch accepts AC supply up to 250 V and carries a nominal output current of 10 A. With IP54 protection, it resists dust ingress and splashing water, making it suitable for indoor and semi‑protected outdoor locations. The unit measures 60×48 mm and weighs approximately 83.5 g, offering a space‑saving footprint for wall boxes and surface mounting frames.

Advantages

The switch provides reliable on/off control for lighting and small electrical loads within its rated voltage and current. Its IP54 rating ensures protection against dust and water splashes, increasing installation flexibility in bathrooms, corridors, covered terraces, and utility rooms. The white plastic housing is lightweight, easy to install, and compatible with standard mounting accessories. Compact dimensions make it convenient for retrofits and dense switch panels where space is limited.

How to use

Install the Kontakt‑Simon AQW2/11 switch according to applicable electrical codes and safety standards. Turn off the mains supply before wiring. Connect live and switched live conductors to the appropriate terminals, ensuring secure screw connections and correct conductor sizes per the 10 A rating. Mount the unit into a compatible wall box or surface frame, then restore power and test switching operation. If used in semi‑protected outdoor locations, place the switch under a cover or within an enclosure to maintain the IP54 protection level.

Usage recommendations

Use the switch only within its rated 250 V AC and 10 A limits. Avoid exposure to direct jets of water or fully outdoor unprotected locations. For circuits with inductive loads or frequent switching, verify compatibility with the load type and consider protective devices such as fuses or residual current devices as required by regulations.
