20AX 2 Way Retractive SP Switch Module - Antique Brass

This Knightsbridge 20AX retractive switch module is a single-pole, 2-way grid switch module finished in antique brass with PRESS engraved on the rocker. The module measures 24.8mm wide and clips into Knightsbridge grid mounting frames (sold separately) from the front, allowing switches to be configured in multi-gang custom layouts.

Retractive switching means the rocker returns to the off position after being pressed, making it suitable for doorbell circuits, stairwell lighting with timed relays, and automation control circuits where momentary contact is needed rather than a latching on/off action. The 20AX rating handles up to 4,600W on 230V, sufficient for higher-load applications including motor control and lighting circuits with inrush current.

The antique brass finish has a warm, aged tone with darker patina in the brushed texture, pairing well with period interiors, renovated Victorian and Edwardian properties, and heritage hotel fitouts. The ABS construction behind the brass faceplate is rated IP20 for dry indoor use. The 35mm minimum back box depth requirement is standard for grid systems and allows multiple modules to be grouped side-by-side in 2-, 3-, 4- or 6-module frames.

Product Specification Sheet

What's the difference between a retractive switch and a standard switch?

A retractive switch returns to the off position after being pressed, providing momentary contact rather than latching on or off. This makes it suitable for doorbell circuits, automation triggers and timed relay control where you need a brief signal rather than sustained power.

What grid frame does this module fit?

This module clips into Knightsbridge grid mounting frames sold separately. Frames are available in 2-, 3-, 4- and 6-module widths to allow custom multi-gang configurations. The module is 24.8mm wide, which is the standard single-module width in the Knightsbridge grid system.

What does the 20AX rating mean?

20AX means 20 amperes (A) with an X rating for higher inrush current capability. This handles up to 4,600W on 230V and is suitable for lighting circuits with transformers, motor control and other applications where switching causes a brief current spike above the steady-state load.

What other finishes are available in this module style?

Knightsbridge produces grid modules in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass, matt black and white. Search for "Knightsbridge grid module" or use the finish filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
