Why it Matters

Built for Australian conditions
With an IP66 rating, this switch keeps operating through dust, hosing down and driving rain, in locations where a standard indoor switch simply won't hold up over time. It's rated for exposed outdoor installation as well as industrial and utility environments.

Simple, reliable isolation
The rotary knob gives a clear, tactile ON-OFF action that's easy to operate even with wet or gloved hands. A single-pole design keeps installation straightforward for electricians isolating a single-phase circuit.

Tough enclosure, long service life
The polycarbonate body resists impact and UV exposure better than standard plastics, and the surface-mount design means no need to chase into walls or masonry. That makes it a practical fit for both retrofits on existing structures and new outdoor circuit installs.

Wide temperature tolerance
Rated from -25°C to 75°C, the 56SW110-GY is built to handle Australia's temperature extremes, from frosty mornings in the highlands to scorching summer heat against a north-facing wall.

What's in the box
The 56SW110-GY ships as a complete unit, ready to mount straight out of the box: full cover plate, rotary knob mechanism and screw-terminal connections for a single-phase active and neutral. No separate mechanism or plate to source, which speeds up first fix and reduces the parts an electrician needs to carry on the truck.

Simple connection, straightforward fixing
Terminals accept 1.5-6 sq-mm conductors via screw connection, and the enclosure fixes by screws directly to the mounting surface. The full cover plate design means the switch presents as one clean unit once installed, with no additional trim or plate required.

Q: Is the 56SW110-GY suitable for outdoor installation?
A: Yes, it carries an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and weather-exposed locations.

Q: What is the maximum current rating of this switch?
A: It's rated to 10A at 250VAC, 50Hz, suited to single-phase power and lighting circuits.

Q: Does this switch mount on the wall surface or need a wall cavity?
A: It's a surface-mount switch, fixed directly to a wall or structure with screws, so no cavity or recessed mounting is required.
