        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | 3-Position Toggle Switch Mechanism 10A 250V | Vivid White

        The Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW is a three-position toggle switch mechanism rated 250V, 10A, designed for rocker control in lighting and switchable loads. The 49M-VW is a mechanism-only component intended for flush mounting into standard Clipsal Iconic backing plates and frames, allowing electricians to specify precise control functionality within the Clipsal Iconic range.

        Three-position switch mechanisms are common in applications requiring multiple states: up-off-down roller shutter control, sensor-off-on configurations, or auto-off-manual fan speed selection. The 49M-VW blank mechanism accommodates custom rocker covers and labels to suit the specific application on site, reducing inventory complexity for contractors and reducing the cost of custom fitouts by avoiding manufacturer-specific labelled units.

        Licensed electricians select the 49M-VW for its interchangeability with all Clipsal Iconic backing plates, meaning a single stock holding of 49M-VW mechanisms covers multiple installation scenarios across a job. The rocker control is consistent with standard Clipsal Iconic single and double mechanisms, so training and installation speed remain uniform across the range. The blank dolly design permits on-site labelling or the use of custom rocker covers for bespoke control identification, which is valuable for rental properties, commercial installations, and retrofit work where standard labelling may not suit the end user's needs.

        Features

        • Three-position toggle mechanism — blank dolly format permits custom rocker covers and labels for application-specific control identification.
        • 10A rated current — suitable for general-purpose lighting loads and low-current switchable accessories on a standard 10A MCB or RCD circuit.
        • 250V AC rated — compliant with Australian domestic and commercial single-phase mains voltage (standard for household and office wall installations).
        • Clipsal Iconic interchangeability — the 49M-VW mechanism fits all Clipsal Iconic backing plates and frames, so electricians can maintain a single stock of mechanisms across single, double, and triple gang applications.
        • Flush mounting design — lands into standard 16mm or 20mm deep wall boxes with no additional spacers or adaptors on the majority of domestic and commercial installations.
        • Screw terminal connections — wire terminates to brass screw posts, providing secure, field-serviceable connections without crimped terminals.
        • Rocker control — toggle-style rocker switch with smooth, intuitive operation common to all Clipsal Iconic mechanisms.
        • Mechanism only, no cover supplied — the 49M-VW is supplied as a bare mechanism; backing plate, frame, and rocker cover are ordered separately to suit the final application.
        • Vivid White finish — mechanism body is off-white polyester powder-coated finish, resistant to discolouration and UV fading compared to uncoated plastic.
        • RoHS compliant — manufactured in accordance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, certified by Schneider Electric since 2017.

        Where to use

        • Roller shutter and blind control — the three-position up-off-down format is standard for motorised roller shutters and awning deployment, where a blank 49M-VW mechanism accepts a custom rocker label (e.g. "UP–OFF–DOWN") to suit the application.
        • Sensor-based lighting control — bathroom exhaust fans, outdoor lights, or security lighting can be configured with a sensor-off-on rocker to permit manual override of automatic switching, commonly wired using a three-terminal mechanism.
        • Fan speed selection — the 49M-VW blank mechanism is often paired with a three-label rocker (e.g. "Auto–Off–Manual" or "Low–Off–High") for ceiling fan or ventilation system speed control without a dedicated speed controller.
        • Multi-state switchable loads — any load requiring more than two states (on-off) and less than four states can be wired through a three-position mechanism, reducing the need for multi-gang installations or external switching modules.
        • Custom retrofit and labelled applications — rental properties, multi-tenant buildings, and commercial spaces often specify the 49M-VW blank mechanism so facility managers can label the rocker covers to suit the tenant's equipment or control strategy without stock holding multiple pre-labelled units.
        • Clipsal Iconic standardisation — electricians upgrading existing Clipsal Iconic installations or retrofitting a house with Iconic fittings across different rooms can stock 49M-VW mechanisms and pair them with different custom rockers, eliminating the need to order separate mechanism models.

        The Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW is not suitable for outdoor exposure, wet areas, or locations subject to splash or rain; the mechanism is rated for interior dry locations only. The 49M-VW is a mechanism component only and does not include the backing plate, frame, or rocker cover—these items must be ordered separately. Certain applications (such as outdoor weatherproof three-position control) require a different mechanism with IP rating and sealed construction, not the 49M-VW.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW (49M-VW)

        "Much nicer that the older style switches. Would be better if they would return to off on their own." — Russ

        (49M-VW)

        The 49M-VW is a mechanism only. It does not include the backing plate, frame, or rocker cover. You will need to order those components separately from the Clipsal Iconic range to create a complete switch assembly.

        Yes. The 49M-VW mechanism is fully interchangeable with all Clipsal Iconic single, double, and triple gang backing plates. Simply remove the existing mechanism and install the 49M-VW in its place. No modification to the backing plate or wall box is required.

        The blank dolly is a rocker toggle with no printed label or icon. This permits you to use custom rocker covers with your own labels (e.g. "UP–OFF–DOWN" for shutters or "Auto–Off–Manual" for fans), or to add on-site labelling. Pre-labelled alternatives are available separately: the 49MLBLUOD-VW (Up-Off-Down) and 49MLBLAOM-VW (Auto-Off-Manual) rockers offer standard configurations if you prefer not to label on-site.

        The 49M-VW is rated for any lighting or switchable load circuit protected by a 10A MCB or RCD. Common applications include roller shutter control (three-position up-off-down), fan speed selection, sensor-based lighting override (sensor-off-on), and multi-state equipment control. Always confirm the load current does not exceed 10A and that the circuit protection matches.

        No. The 49M-VW is rated for interior dry locations only. It is not weatherproof and should not be used in bathrooms, kitchens (splash zones), laundries, external walls, or outdoor installations. For outdoor three-position control, a weatherproof mechanism with an IP rating is required.

        The 49M-VW mechanism has three screw terminal positions for field-side connection. Consult the installation diagram included with the mechanism and the equipment manual (shutter motor, fan controller, or load device) to confirm terminal assignment. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
