SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC KYTKIN KAKSIPIIRIÄ RUUVITON (WDE015816)

For installations where a standard switch simply cannot keep pace, the WDE015816 from Schneider Electric's Merten System M range delivers dual-circuit control in a sleek, flush-mounted insert. Unlike single-function rocker inserts, this unit manages two independent circuits from one compact module, with screwless terminals that cut wiring time dramatically. The polar white finish and clean rocker profile integrate seamlessly with System M frames, while the 10 AX rating ensures reliable switching for lighting and motor loads alike.

Highlights

• Two-circuit rocker insert for independent control of two lighting groups or loads
• Screwless terminals accept rigid conductors up to 2 × 2.5 mm² and flexible up to 2 × 1.5 mm²
• Rated 10 AX at 250 V AC – suitable for resistive and inductive loads
• Flush mounting with standard System M frames and cover plates
• Halogen-free thermoplastic and polycarbonate construction, polar white (similar to RAL 9010)
• IP20 protection, compliant with EN 60669-1

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: strip the conductors, push them into the clearly marked terminals, and snap the insert into the flush-mounted box. The rocker action is crisp and positive, giving clear tactile feedback. Because the insert is screwless, there are no terminal screws to tighten or loosen over time – connections remain secure even with vibration. The two circuits can be used for separate lighting zones in a room, or for a light and a fan, without needing two separate switches.
