        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Iconic Switch Mechanism 1-Way/2-Way 250V 10A | Vivid White

        The Clipsal Iconic 40M-VW (40M-VW) is a 1-way/2-way switch mechanism rated 10A 250V, supplied as a bare mechanism for use with Iconic grid plates and cover skins. The 40M-VW (40M-VW) suits lighting control in residential applications and can operate small motor loads such as exhaust fans. As a mechanism-only component, it integrates with any Clipsal Iconic grid and cover plate combination, allowing electricians and renovators to build a switch assembly to specification and finish choice.

        The standalone mechanism fills a key need on the jobsite. Swapped-out mechanisms account for a significant portion of electrical work in retrofits and additions, where existing cover plates and grids are often retained. Stocking mechanisms separately lets electricians repair or upgrade failing switches without replacing the entire plate assembly, reducing waste and keeping customers' preferred finishes intact. The 40M-VW's adjustable installation design suits retrofit work where mounting conditions vary across different wall depths.

        Licensed electricians value the Clipsal Iconic range for interchangeability across all gang counts and variants. The same mechanism fits 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-gang grid plates and accepts the full range of Iconic cover skins in every colour and finish. The 1-way/2-way design makes it flexible for single-direction or two-way lighting control on residential circuits. This interchangeability reduces the number of stock lines needed and creates a routine margin on mechanism-only repairs, sitting between minor maintenance and full switch upgrades.

        Features

        • 1-way/2-way control — the rocker action allows either single-direction lighting control or two-way switching on the same circuit, accommodating standard residential wiring configurations.
        • 10A rated current — suitable for general lighting and small motor loads such as exhaust fans, fitting 10A MCB or RCD-protected circuits.
        • 250V operational voltage — rated for Australian standard 240V AC supply with margin.
        • Screw terminal connections — permanent cable terminations ensure solid contact under typical installation and vibration stress.
        • Interchangeable across Clipsal Iconic gang counts — the same mechanism installs in 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-gang grid plates without modification, reducing the number of stock lines a sparky or retailer needs to carry.
        • Accepts all Clipsal Iconic cover skins — the mechanism works with every finish in the Iconic range, from Vivid White to Stainless Steel to Champagne, providing aesthetic flexibility on retrofit and renovation work.
        • Vivid White finish — polyester powder-coated rocker and trim components resist UV fading and fingerprints, holding appearance through the lifecycle of the installation.
        • Compact dimensions — height 23 mm, width 23 mm, depth 32 mm suit standard Australian wall boxes without requiring special backing plates or adaptors.
        • Adjustable installation — mechanism fits both 16 mm and 20 mm deep wall boxes, typical on most residential and commercial building stock, with no adjustment required.
        • Mechanism only, not suitable as a standalone switch — the 40M-VW must be fitted to a compatible Clipsal Iconic grid plate and cover plate to create a functional assembly; do not install without the grid and cover components.

        Where to use

        • Retrofit and replacement work — the mechanism is ideal for upgrading failing or worn-out switches in existing installations where the cover plate and grid are being retained for continuity of finish.
        • Two-way lighting control — stairwells, hallways, and large rooms requiring switches at opposite ends benefit from the 1-way/2-way configuration.
        • Interior lighting circuits — general domestic lighting loads on 10A circuits throughout lounge rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and work spaces.
        • Exhaust fan and small motor circuits — ceiling fan and bathroom exhaust fan control on dedicated 10A supply.
        • Stock as a service item — electricians maintaining field inventory of mechanisms benefit from the interchangeability and the margin on mechanism-only service calls.
        • DIY and renovation projects — confident renovators upgrading a single switch without replacing the entire plate can source the mechanism separately and install with their chosen Iconic cover plate.

        The Clipsal Iconic 40M-VW is not suitable for outdoor or weatherproof applications. Do not install in damp locations, bathrooms, laundries, kitchens with steam, or external walls without weatherproof enclosure. The 40M-VW is a mechanism only and not functional standalone. It must be assembled with a compatible Clipsal Iconic grid plate and cover plate before installation.

        (40M-VW)

        The 40M-VW is a mechanism only and must be fitted to a Clipsal Iconic grid plate and cover plate to form a functional switch assembly. The mechanism cannot be used standalone.

        The 40M-VW is designed for use with Clipsal Iconic grid plates and covers only. It is not compatible with other brands' switching systems.

        The 40M-VW operates as either a 1-way (single-direction) or 2-way (switched from two locations) lighting control depending on how it is wired on the circuit. The same mechanism supports both configurations; the circuit wiring determines the function.

        Yes, the 40M-VW is rated 10A 250V and can operate small motor loads such as exhaust fans and climate control fans. It must be on a 10A circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection.

        No, the 40M-VW is for interior dry locations only. It is not rated for bathrooms, laundries, kitchens with steam exposure, or any damp or external environment without a weatherproof enclosure.

        The 40M-VW carries a 1-year domestic and commercial warranty covering manufacturing defects. Warranty coverage is subject to installation by a licensed electrician in accordance with Australian Standards. In-home service may be available through authorised Clipsal dealers.
