About the Tesla Switch Mechanism
A switch mechanism is the functional component that sits inside a grid plate — it is the part that physically makes and breaks the electrical circuit when the switch is operated. The Tesla 16A switch mechanism is designed for standard residential and commercial lighting circuits, rated at 16 Amp and 240V AC to suit Australian wiring installations.
The mechanism is compatible with Tesla Classic Series grid plates across the full 1 to 6 gang range, as well as standard Clipsal brand grid plates — making it a direct replacement or upgrade component in either brand's switch system. The snap-fit design allows the mechanism to be inserted and locked into the grid plate without additional tools.
Other Tesla switch mechanism types are available for specific applications — including fan switches, heat switches, intermediate switches, and double pole mechanisms for higher current loads.
