Surface Box Schneider Electric WDE002762 2-module 35mm white

Schneider Electric WDE002762 is a 2-module surface mounting box in white designed for 35 mm modular devices. It provides a compact and sturdy enclosure for switches, sockets and other modular electrical components when flush mounting is not possible. The box is intended for surface installations in residential and commercial interiors, allowing straightforward wiring, device replacement and maintenance without altering existing wall structures.

Advantages

The surface box offers a practical solution for mounting two standard modular devices on walls or panels where in-wall installation is impractical. Its white finish blends with common interior colours and minimizes visual impact. Constructed from non-conductive material, the box isolates live parts and supports safe, compliant installations. The 35 mm depth accommodates most modular mechanisms and wiring, while standardized fixing points simplify alignment and attachment of compatible plates and devices.

Suitable for

• Adding switches or sockets to solid walls, concrete or tiled surfaces
• Temporary or retrofit installations in homes, offices and retail spaces
• Mounting two 35 mm modular devices where flush boxes are unavailable
• Locations requiring easy access for maintenance and device replacement

When it may not be suitable

This surface box is intended specifically for two-module, 35 mm modular devices; it is not suitable for larger multi-module assemblies or devices that require deeper enclosure space. For concealed installations behind plasterboard or where built-in boxes are specified, a flush-mounted enclosure should be used instead. Also, use in outdoor or high-moisture environments requires verification of additional sealing or a weatherproof enclosure.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 2 modular devices (2-module)
• Compatible device depth: 35 mm modular mechanisms
• Material: non-conductive plastic (white finish)
• Mounting: surface-mounted with standardized fixing points
• Application: indoor use for residential and commercial interiors

How to use

Prepare the mounting surface by ensuring it is clean, level and able to accept screws or appropriate anchors. Position the box, mark the fixing points and drill holes if necessary. Run the cable into the box through the provided entry points, make electrical connections following local regulations and secure modular devices to the box using the compatible fixing screws. Finish by attaching the cover plate or faceplate to match the installed devices. If unsure about wiring or compliance, consult a qualified electrician.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the modular device dimensions and that they conform to 35 mm depth requirements
• Verify the installation location is intended for indoor surface mounting
• Check wall material to select appropriate screws or anchors
• Ensure compatibility with the chosen faceplate or cover design

Usage recommendations

Use this Schneider Electric surface box for reliable surface-mounted installations of two standard modular devices. For secure and compliant results, pair it with matching 35 mm modular mechanisms and install according to local electrical codes; consider a weatherproof alternative for moisture-prone areas.
