Transco SMD/B Powerclip Square Double Pole Light Switch Mechanism 10A Black

Description

Full Isolation at the Switch. Double Pole Done Right.

The Transco Powerclip SMD/B is a 10 amp double pole rocker switch mechanism in black — designed for applications where complete isolation of both active and neutral conductors is required at the switch point, with a bold contemporary finish. Rated at 240V AC and 50Hz, it clips directly into any Powerclip grid plate via the quick-release system for a fast, professional installation. Grid plate sold separately.

Where Double Pole Switching Is Required and Why It Matters

A double pole switch disconnects both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously, providing true isolation of the connected appliance or circuit from the supply. This is a critical requirement in a wide range of Australian electrical applications — anywhere the Australian wiring rules or safety standards call for complete isolation at the point of use rather than single pole switching. The SMD/B delivers that isolation via the familiar Powerclip rocker format in black, so the installation looks sharp and intentional on any dark-finish plate.

The Powerclip quick-release system means the SMD/B installs and removes without tools, just like the standard SM/B mechanism. It clicks firmly into any Powerclip grid plate across all gang counts and formats — standard or architrave — and releases cleanly for testing or replacement without pulling the plate from the wall. It is also compatible with the Transco Slim Wafer series, giving additional flexibility across different plate systems on the same job.

The screwing copper ferrule connector accommodates cable up to 2.5mm x 4, covering standard Australian residential and light commercial wiring sizes. Sold individually — specify the quantity needed and pair with the appropriate Powerclip grid plate and cover for a complete switch assembly.

Q: When is a double pole switch mechanism required instead of a single pole?
A: A double pole switch is required where Australian wiring rules or appliance installation standards mandate complete isolation of both active and neutral conductors at the switch point. This is common for fixed appliances, air conditioning units, and other equipment requiring safe isolation.

Q: Is the Transco SMD/B mechanism compatible with standard Powerclip grid plates?
A: Yes. The SMD/B is compatible with all Transco Powerclip series grid plates and covers across all gang counts and formats, as well as the Transco Slim Wafer series, fitted via the patented quick-release clip system.

Q: Is the Transco SMD/B double pole mechanism suitable for two-way switching?
A: Yes. The SMD/B supports two-way switching at 10A and 240V AC, providing double pole isolation across both switching positions.
