Switch and Socket Mechanisms

Switch and socket mechanisms are the carrier body parts into which the modules are fitted in modular switch and socket series. They are used to frame wall-mounted switches, sockets and similar modules together in homes, offices and commercial spaces. When choosing a mechanism, determine how many modules the grouping will have and the number of keys and sockets to be used. Mutlusan mechanisms are split into 2 modules, 3 modules, 4 modules and 7 modules. The module count determines the number of products that can be fitted side by side in the same mechanism, and the chosen number should not exceed the usage need in the space. A mechanism does not work as a switch or socket on its own; keys and the internal switching element are needed separately. The module count of the mechanism equals the total width of the keys, sockets and other modules to be fitted on it. For example, two 1-module products or one 2-module product can be fitted into a 2-module mechanism. Wide mechanisms such as 4 and 7 modules are considered for gathering many points in a single frame, and 2 and 3 modules for single or double use. These products do not replace keys, and they should not be confused with switch and socket keys.

How to choose Switch and Socket Mechanisms

Switch and socket mechanisms are the carrier body parts into which the modules are fitted in modular switch and socket series. They are used to frame wall-mounted switches, sockets and similar modules together in homes, offices and commercial spaces.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
