        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Iconic Intermediate Push Button Switch Mechanism 10A 230/240V | Vivid White

        The Clipsal 40PBI-VW is an intermediate push button switch mechanism rated 10 A at 230/240 V AC, supplied in Vivid White. An intermediate switch sits between two two-way switches, so one light can be worked from three or more positions. The 40PBI-VW complies with AS/NZS 3133.

        Two two-way switches give one light two control points, and a third position needs a crossover wired between them. That crossover is the intermediate, and the 40PBI-VW crosses the two travellers over on each press. The mechanism is built for lighting circuits, with a single push button across the face. It mounts embedded in the wall, with the face sitting in the plate and the body behind it.

        Features

        • Intermediate switching — wired between two two-way switches, the 40PBI-VW crosses the travellers over and adds a further control point to one lighting circuit.
        • Push button actuator — the mechanism is operated by pressing the face rather than throwing a rocker.
        • 10 A rated current — the mechanism carries up to 10 A, which sets the load limit for the switched circuit.
        • 230/240 V rating — rated to switch at 230/240 V, which is standard Australian mains supply.
        • Screw terminal connections — each conductor sits under a screw at the back of the mechanism.
        • Clipping lock fixing — the 40PBI-VW is held by clipping locks once it is pushed into position.
        • 37 mm embedding depth — the mechanism sits 37 mm into the wall, so the position needs that much clear depth behind the face.
        • Matt surface finish — the face carries a matt finish rather than a gloss one.
        • Vivid White tint — supplied in the Clipsal Vivid White tint, carried as the VW suffix in the product code.
        • IP3X protection — rated against solid objects only, so the 40PBI-VW carries no rating against water ingress.
        • Operating range to 50 degrees C — rated for ambient air temperature between -3 and 50 degrees C in service.
        • AS/NZS 3133 — the mechanism complies with AS/NZS 3133 as supplied.

        Where to use

        • Three-point lighting runs — a hallway or stairwell switched from both ends takes the 40PBI-VW at a third point along the run.
        • Dry indoor lighting points — the mechanism is built for lighting, so it belongs on the light circuit in a dry interior position.
        • Walls with 37 mm clearance — the cavity behind the face needs at least 37 mm of free depth to take the 40PBI-VW.
        • New build and rewire fit-off — the 40PBI-VW mounts embedded, so it suits positions where the wall is open or a flush box is already in.

        The 40PBI-VW is rated IP3X, which covers solid objects only and carries no rating against water. It is not suitable for outdoor or weatherproof positions, or for damp areas such as bathrooms and laundries. Loads above 10 A sit outside the rating of the mechanism.

        (40PBI-VW)

        It is an intermediate push button switch mechanism for lighting, rated 10 A at 230/240 V AC and finished in Vivid White. It goes between two two-way switches so one light can be worked from three or more positions.

        A two-way switch sits at one end of the circuit and flicks the load between two travellers. An intermediate sits in the middle and swaps those travellers over. Every control point past the second one is an intermediate.

        Two two-way switches give two positions. Each intermediate added between them gives one more, so three positions need one intermediate and four positions need two. The 40PBI-VW is one of those middle positions.

        Yes. The mechanism wires into a mains lighting circuit at 230/240 V, so the work sits with a licensed electrician. Conductors land under screw terminals at the back and the mechanism is held by clipping locks. It mounts embedded and needs 37 mm of clear depth behind the face.

        No. The mechanism is rated IP3X, which covers solid objects above 2.5 mm and gives no protection against water. Keep it to dry indoor positions. Outdoor, weatherproof and damp positions need a mechanism with an ingress rating that covers water.

        Cover runs for one year domestic and one year commercial, starting from the invoice date. Clipsal handles claims directly under its in-home warranty, so the mechanism does not need to be uninstalled or returned. The warranty is void if the product was not installed by a licensed electrician.
