6A DP Inline Cord Switch – Black

Description

The Knightsbridge ST6ABK is a 6A double-pole inline cord switch housed in a black polycarbonate body measuring 60.5mm long by 26.4mm wide. The switch interrupts both live and neutral conductors when operated, providing safer isolation for table lamps, desk lamps and other low-wattage portable lighting than single-pole switching.

Designed for installation on 2-core or 3-core lighting flex between the plug and the lamp holder, the switch accepts cable between 0.75mm and 1.5mm in screw terminals inside the housing. The body splits into two halves for cable entry and re-wiring, allowing replacement of damaged flex or retrofitting to existing lamp bases. The rocker mechanism operates with a firm click and the Class II rating means the switch is suitable for double-insulated luminaires without earth connection, though an earth terminal is provided for 3-core cable where needed.

The 6A rating handles loads up to 1,380W on 230V
