Electrical switch Kontakt-Simon DW7L.01/44 — Gold, plastic housing, IP20/IP44, 250 V AC, 10 A, 75×41 mm

Kontakt-Simon DW7L.01/44 is a compact electrical wall switch with a gold-coloured plastic housing designed for use in residential and light-commercial environments. The device is rated for 250 V AC and a nominal current of 10 A, and it provides protection levels corresponding to IP20 and IP44. Its compact footprint (approximately 75 × 41 mm) and lightweight construction make it suitable for standard flush-mounted installations where a cross or illuminated switch function is required.

Advantages

The switch combines a low-profile plastic housing with a gold finish that fits decorative interiors while remaining durable for everyday use. Dual protection ratings offer basic protection against contact and, where applicable, limited protection against splashing water. Electrical ratings of 250 V AC and 10 A accommodate common lighting circuits. The illuminated/cross-switch functionality supports multi-way switching arrangements and helps with visibility in low-light conditions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Domestic lighting circuits where a cross (intermediate) or illuminated switch is needed
• Bedrooms, hallways and staircases requiring multi-way control
• Light-commercial interiors with decorative requirements and standard electrical loads
• Flush-mounted electrical boxes compatible with 75×41 mm devices

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not intended for heavy industrial applications or circuits exceeding the nominal 10 A rating. It is not suitable for outdoor exposed installations unless installed in an enclosure that provides appropriate environmental protection beyond the stated IP20/IP44 ratings. The plastic housing and decorative finish mean it may not meet aesthetic or durability requirements for high-impact or vandal-prone areas.

Key specifications

• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Rated current: 10 A
• Protection class: IP20 / IP44 (depending on installation and sealing)
• Housing material: plastic with gold-coloured finish
• Function: cross (intermediate) switch with illumination option
• Dimensions (approx.): 75 mm × 41 mm
• Weight (approx.): 63 g

How to use

Install the switch into a compatible flush-mounted electrical box following local electrical codes and safety regulations. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Connect line and load conductors according to the multi-way switching diagram for a cross/intermediate switch and fit the neutral and earth connections as required by the circuit. If the illuminated feature requires a neutral or special wiring, follow the manufacturer wiring instructions. After wiring, secure the switch to the box, restore power, and test operation in all switching positions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the switch fits the intended flush-mounted box and faceplate dimensions (approx. 75×41 mm).
• Confirm the circuit current does not exceed 10 A and that 250 V AC rating matches your supply.
• Check whether the illuminated function requires a neutral or specific wiring arrangement in your installation.
• Determine if IP20/IP44 protection is sufficient for the installation location or if additional enclosures are needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the DW7L.01/44 in standard indoor lighting circuits and multi-way configurations. For safe and reliable operation, have a qualified electrician perform installation and verify wiring compatibility for the illuminated feature. Avoid installation in unprotected outdoor locations without an appropriate enclosure.
