Ospel Madera ŁNH-11N/00 Double-Pole Switch, IP44, 16A, 250V, White

The Ospel Madera ŁNH-11N/00 is a robust double-pole electrical switch engineered for durability and reliable performance in challenging environments. Finished in a clean white aesthetic, this hermetic switch is designed to withstand exposure to moisture and dust, ensuring long-term functionality in both residential and commercial settings. With its high-quality construction and secure mounting, it provides a dependable solution for controlling electrical circuits where protection against environmental factors is essential.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this switch is its IP44 ingress protection rating, which effectively shields internal components from splashing water and solid particles. This makes it significantly more resilient than standard indoor switches. The double-pole configuration allows for the simultaneous disconnection of both the phase and neutral conductors, providing an extra layer of safety for connected appliances. Furthermore, the use of reliable screw terminals ensures a secure and stable electrical connection, minimizing the risk of loose wiring over time.

Suitable for

• Outdoor areas protected from direct rain
• Bathrooms and laundry rooms
• Garages and workshops
• Basements and utility rooms

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not intended for use in areas directly exposed to heavy rain or water jets, as the IP44 rating only provides protection against splashing water. It is also not suitable for high-current industrial machinery that exceeds the 16A or 3520W load capacity.

Key specifications

• Ingress protection rating: IP44
• Nominal current: 16A
• Maximum load: 3520W
• Voltage: 250V
• Connection type: Screw terminals
• Dimensions: 70 mm x 65 mm x 46 mm

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety regulations. The switch is designed for surface mounting. Begin by isolating the power supply at the main circuit breaker. Remove the outer cover, secure the base to the wall using appropriate fixings, and connect the electrical wires to the designated screw terminals. Once the wiring is verified, reattach the cover to ensure the hermetic seal is properly engaged before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the installation location is suitable for an IP44-rated device.
• Ensure the total electrical load of the connected devices does not exceed 3520W.
• Check if the surface mounting design fits your specific wall space requirements.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the protective cover is fully tightened and the rubber seals are intact during installation to maintain the IP44 hermetic integrity. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the plastic housing to prevent surface damage.
