Wisselschakelaar Merten MEG3106-0000 — 1P, metallic, 250 V AC, 10 A

The Merten MEG3106-0000 rocker switch is a single-pole (1P) mechanical on/off switch with a metallic finish, designed for AC applications up to 250 V and rated for a nominal current of 10 A. Intended for straightforward switching tasks, this compact unit fits into standard switch frames and offers a durable interface for lighting circuits and small electrical appliances in residential and light commercial environments.

Advantages

The rocker switch delivers reliable basic switching performance with a simple, low-profile metallic appearance that integrates with modern interior fittings. Its single-pole design minimizes wiring complexity for typical lighting and load control. Constructed for repeated mechanical operation, the switch offers consistent tactile feedback and stable contact performance under nominal load conditions.

Suitable for

• Controlling interior lighting circuits in homes, offices, and small commercial spaces
• Switching small appliances and auxiliary loads within the 10 A rating
• Replacement or upgrade of standard single-pole switches where a metallic finish is desired

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: single-pole (1P)
• Rated voltage: up to 250 V AC
• Rated current: 10 A nominal
• Actuation: rocker (on/off)
• Finish: metallic
• Mounting: intended for standard switch frames or installation boxes compatible with the brand's modular system

How to use

Turn off power at the circuit breaker before installation. Mount the switch into a compatible frame or installation box following local wiring standards, connecting the live conductor to the switch input and the switched live to the output terminal. After secure mounting and connection, restore power and test the rocker for correct on/off operation. For replacement, remove the existing module from its frame and install the new rocker switch in the same orientation, ensuring terminals are tightened and insulated as required.

Recommendations

Use the switch only within its rated limits: up to 250 V AC and 10 A nominal current. Avoid switching loads that produce excessive inrush current beyond the rating (for example, large motors or heavy-duty inductive loads) without additional protective or switching devices. Follow local electrical codes and, where necessary, engage a qualified electrician for installation and inspection.
