Toggle switch alternation THPG porcelain
The toggle switch is one of the oldest switch types. It is particularly easy to operate - even with your elbow if necessary when your hands are full. The central insert is made of porcelain - as was the case with the first of its kind - and the toggle lever is made of thermoset (Duroplast). The base body is made of steatite, a technical porcelain, and has solid screw contacts. The switching process is also confirmed acoustically by a durable brass switching mechanism.
An alternation switch can either be used individually as an on/off switch or in conjunction with a second alternation switch.

More details
Easy to operate. Well proportioned. Solid.
From a historical perspective, toggle and rocker switches are the direct ‘successors’ to the tried and tested rotary switches. They have a simpler design and are particularly easy to operate - even with your elbow if necessary when your hands are full. Our models stand out from today's conventional ‘surface switches’ with their oversized rockers thanks to their attractive proportions, classic materials and durable switching mechanism. Our switches are also characterised by tried-and-tested screw contacts and a steatite base body.
Covers & Combinations
Covers and combination options.
All switches and sockets are supplied without external cover!
The inserts can be combined with the various covers of the series and thus used in a wide variety of configurations. Round single covers, double covers and round system covers are available. You can combine all switches and sockets of the porcelain switch series with these covers. For the antenna and telephone inserts and their offshoots, there are special single and system covers that have a larger inner diameter. The system and double covers can be used in existing installations without any problems, as they have been developed according to the standard distances. The porcelain switch range fits in all standard flush-mounted boxes.
The individual parts of the porcelain switch range are not compatible with our other switch ranges.
