Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Solis T Series Toggle Adaptor for Switch Mechanisms | Ebony Aluminium
The Clipsal 40TA-EA is a toggle adaptor for the Clipsal Solis T Series, designed to accept a standard switch mechanism and present it as a toggle control. The 40TA-EA is an aluminium component with a metallic ebony tint, measuring 51mm high by 22mm wide by 30mm deep. It fits by click-in fixing, mounts flush, and installs horizontally to Australian and New Zealand outlet standard.
Solis adaptors divide by what sits behind them, and the choice is easy to get wrong because the visible half looks identical either way. This adaptor accepts a standard switch mechanism: a conventional mech wired to the circuit, not a smart module. Confirming which one the plate is built around before ordering avoids a component that will not seat.
Specifying the switching action at the adaptor rather than the mechanism keeps the mech selection open across a project. Click-in fixing assembles without tools once the mechanism is in place, and flush device mounting holds the adaptor level with the plate face. The ebony aluminium tint carries a metallic surface treatment over an aluminium body.
Features
- Accepts a standard switch mechanism — the 40TA-EA is built around a conventional mech rather than a smart module.
- Toggle switch control type — presents the mechanism as a toggle action rather than a rocker or push button.
- Solis T Series range — part of the Clipsal Solis T Series, matching the range's plate system and finish options.
- Ebony aluminium tint — metallic surface treatment over an aluminium surface finish.
- Aluminium construction — the adaptor body is aluminium rather than moulded plastic.
- Click-in fixing mode — assembles into position without tools or separate fasteners.
- Flush device mounting — sits level with the plate face rather than standing proud of it.
- 51 x 22 x 30mm — 51mm high, 22mm wide, and 30mm deep.
- Australian and New Zealand outlet standard — dimensioned to the AU/NZ plate and mechanism convention.
- Single switch position — covers one position, so multi-gang plates require one adaptor per position.
- Horizontal installation only — the datasheet specifies horizontal installation direction for this adaptor.
Where to use
- Residential switch plates — the 40TA-EA gives conventional switching a toggle action across Solis T Series plates through the home.
- Hotel and accommodation fit-out — rooms where finish consistency and a familiar switching action both matter.
- Commercial reception and office — front-of-house areas where the plate is part of the interior specification.
- Darker interior schemes — the ebony aluminium tint suits dark joinery, feature walls, and matte black hardware.
- Multi-gang plates — one adaptor per switch position where several mechanisms sit on a single plate.
- Conventional circuits without smart control — installations wanting the Solis look with standard wiring behind it.
The 40TA-EA is an adaptor only and contains no switching mechanism: it requires a standard switch mech and a Solis T Series plate to function. It is built for a standard mechanism, not a smart module, so confirm which the plate is designed around before ordering. Installation direction is horizontal, it covers a single position, and installation is a licensed electrician's work.
