The switch returns to its off position after being pressed, making it suitable for momentary-contact applications such as electric gate controls, garage door openers, security system triggers and doorbell circuits. A blue LED indicator sits above the large circular rocker switch, providing location visibility in low light and activity confirmation when the switch is pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outdoor installation where water ingress and impact resistance are required, the switch carries an IP66 rating (protected against heavy jets of water from any direction) and an IK06 impact rating (protected against 1 joule impacts). The 90mm square enclosure mounts directly to walls, gate posts, garage door frames and external surfaces using the four corner fixing holes. Multiple 20mm cable entry\/exit points around the enclosure allow cables to enter from the most convenient direction for the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polycarbonate construction resists UV degradation and temperature extremes better than standard ABS plastic, maintaining structural integrity and finish over years of outdoor exposure. The 20AX rating handles loads up to 4,600W on 230V circuits, making it suitable for controlling higher-draw devices such as motorised gates and industrial door mechanisms. The retractive function means the switch must be held down to maintain contact, returning to the open position when released — this is the standard requirement for gate and garage door controls to prevent accidental sustained activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_1881408_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_827698.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does retractive mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA retractive switch returns to the off position automatically when you release it, unlike a standard toggle switch that stays in position.
