The module measures 24.8mm wide (one grid module position) and clips into the front of Knightsbridge grid mounting frames sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the switch is turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching for high-draw appliances or circuits where complete isolation is required. The 20AX rating handles loads up to 4,600W on 230V mains, making it suitable for immersion heaters, storage heaters, water heaters and other high-current applications beyond the 10A limit of standard lighting switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polished chrome rocker sits flush with a white ABS surround, giving the module a clean metallic accent when installed in a multi-gang grid plate. The module requires a 35mm minimum mounting box depth once the grid frame and cover plate are added. The construction combines ABS for the surround and steel for the internal mechanism, and the module carries IP20 rating for general indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.

This module requires a Knightsbridge grid mounting frame (sold separately) and a compatible grid cover plate to complete the installation. You cannot install this module without the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between 20AX and 10AX switching?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20AX switches are rated for loads up to 4,600W on 230V mains, double the capacity of standard 10A lighting switches. This makes 20AX modules suitable for immersion heaters, storage heaters, and other high-current appliances that would exceed a 10A rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does double pole (DP) mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble pole switching isolates both the live and neutral lines when the switch is turned off, providing complete circuit isolation. Single-pole switches only isolate the live line.
