White Switch and Socket Mechanisms from VIDEX (IP20) guarantee continuous 16A/10AX power control, forming the foundation of installation safety.
The cornerstone of any reliable power grid is its unseen, functional part. White switch and socket mechanisms are designed as central switching blocks that withstand heavy daily loads without outer decorative frames, allowing you to freely choose the room finish later. These base modules, with their flush-mount design, fit perfectly into standard 68 mm wall boxes, supported by a rigid 1 mm galvanized steel frame that prevents the mechanism from twisting during installation or when a plug is forcefully pulled out. The engineering behind the mechanism's facade includes 16A support for sockets, allowing you to safely connect powerful heaters, computers, and servers without the risk of melting the contacts. The switch modules are equipped with 10AX power support, utilizing 0.4 mm thick silver-coated contacts—they perfectly suppress electrical arcs. The white, glossy polycarbonate (PC) part is fire-resistant and does not yellow over time under UV radiation, maintaining a clean look even without the installation of additional frames in the initial stage. The installation of the mechanisms proceeds quickly and safely, thanks to the metal claw system that fixes the components and protects them from vibrations or housing shifts under intensive use conditions.
Technical parameters of central commutation blocks:
- Thermoplastic protection: The housing's polycarbonate is tested against heat and fire, providing IP20 protection and stable insulation for current-carrying parts.
- Silver and brass interior: Brass conductors and silver coating reduce transition resistance, guaranteeing 50,000 cycles of enduring, maintenance-free operation.
- Ergonomic Flush Mount: The galvanized steel profile and mounting feet eliminate the risk of deformation, integrating blocks even in uneven masonry or hollow plasterboard walls.
By choosing the appropriate commutation base mechanisms, you lay a secure foundation for the entire building's electrification and protect equipment from voltage drops. In order for this modern infrastructure to serve not only for power supply but also for illuminating the workspace, a perfect match to connect to the system would be
Q: What is the difference between screwless spring terminals (Push-in) and screw connections in mechanisms?
Q: What role does the 1-millimeter thick galvanized steel mounting support play in the mechanism?
Q: How do the expansion claws included in the switch mechanisms guarantee fixation in old masonry walls?
Q: How to navigate the LED indicator light functions in one-way and two-way switch mechanisms?
Q: How to properly connect socket mechanisms in a parallel circuit (daisy chain)?
A: Screwless terminals secure the copper wire with strong spring pressure that does not loosen under vibration or thermal fluctuations. Unlike screws that can loosen over time, a tensioned spring maintains constant contact density, preventing increased contact resistance and arcing.
Q: What role does the 1-millimeter thick galvanized steel mounting support play in the mechanism?
A: The VIDEX steel support frame prevents mechanism deformation during tightening, securing it in deep or uneven wall boxes. The 1 mm thick galvanization prevents the metal from corroding in damp plaster, stopping the mechanism from sinking into the wall under plug pressure.
Q: How do the expansion claws included in the switch mechanisms guarantee fixation in old masonry walls?
A: The screw-driven spring claws dig into the side walls of the box, creating strong mechanical resistance against pulling. This is critical in older buildings without architectural drywall box screw fixings, anchoring the mechanism against brutal pulling loads.
Q: How to navigate the LED indicator light functions in one-way and two-way switch mechanisms?
A: The built-in low-power (under 0.5W) LED diode shines continuously when the luminaire is turned off, serving as a guide in the dark. The integrated resistor prevents LED lamps from flashing or glowing dimly in the off state, which is a frequent problem with old neon indicators.
Q: How to properly connect socket mechanisms in a parallel circuit (daisy chain)?
A: The mechanism's double terminals allow fixing both the incoming (Line IN) and outgoing (Line OUT) cable wires with a cross-section up to 2.5 mm² in a single input. Such pass-through architecture allows up to 5 sockets to be connected in parallel in one row without exceeding the 16A (3680W) circuit breaker limit.
