What are covers for switches and buttons?

Our life is hardly imaginable without power connections in the house. We operate light switches and plug sockets several times a day. Anyone involved in the planning and construction of a building knows the importance of covers for switches and sockets. Trouble-free functionality, simple design, durability and safety are what count in everyday contact with the interfaces to the power grid. How are these devices constructed? Roughly speaking, conventional switches and buttons consist of an insert, a frame and a cover.

  • The insert consists of the switching technology or the technology for the button and is installed in a switch box.
  • The cover frame forms the outer ring of a socket, button, switch or other insert.
  • The covers fill the frame and ensure that we can safely operate switches, buttons or sockets.

 

The manufacturers have adjusted to the needs of their customers. These offer switch programs with which you can determine the appearance of your switches, buttons and sockets yourself. Covers are available as:

  • Rocker switches, rocker switches and double rockers for lights, blinds, heating and the like
  • Central plate for sockets, network sockets and other media
  • Cable outlet or key switch
  • Blind cover without functionality
  • Central disc for dimmers, sensors, temperature controllers

 

Can covers for switches and buttons be combined with frames from other switch ranges?

The answer is yes and no. Inserts, frames and covers are standardized, but the details can differ. Why is that? The standard refers to DIN 49073:2007-09. This prescribes the typical dimensions of a switch box (diameter: 60 mm or 68 mm. Depth: 40 mm to 66 mm). The switch ranges of all manufacturers fit into your existing and standardized switch boxes. The situation is different if you want to combine different switch ranges. Although all switch series correspond to the basic installation standard, there are differences in design. As a result, some series are not compatible with other series. Particularly exclusive switch programs are usually also not compatible with other programs. These are usually made of glass, brass, brushed aluminum or stainless steel.

 


TIP:

When combining white parts, make sure they have a matching color number (RAL) and the same surface treatment. There may be minor differences.


 

Some covers for buttons and switches match cover frames from other series and manufacturers in terms of shape and size. This allows you to design the control elements in your living room or work area very individually. If you want to combine, we recommend matching the inserts and cover first. In many cases, you will receive these devices as a matching set. This results in the choice of a suitable framework. Many manufacturers produce standardized frames with a cut-out of 55x55mm or 50x50mm. These fit onto correspondingly standardized covers and inserts. Then swapping, combining or varying is possible. If you are not sure, please look at the product description and compare the dimensions given.

How do I remove a cover for switches and buttons?

You can replace covers for sockets and switches yourself. Please pay attention to your safety, because after removing the covers the current-carrying contacts are exposed. When working with electricity, please disconnect the power supply beforehand. In most cases, the cover or the central plate is screwed to the insert with a small, centrally located screw. You can simply loosen them and carefully pull off the cover.

cleaning

Central plates, central discs, rocker switches and cover frames are often touched. We recommend regular cleaning. With a rinse cycle in the dishwasher, all parts become clean again.


Some materials are sensitive to heat or water. For example, clean metal covers by hand. Please make sure that the cleaned parts are absolutely dry before you start the cultivation. Place the frame behind the cover and screw it to the insert.

Is there a cover for buttons and switches for outdoor use?

A special feature are the covers for outdoor use. This is due to the necessary protection against dust, dirt and water. The optimal switch range for use outdoors or in damp rooms is at least IP44 splash-proof. This should also have a reinforced frame, be made of robust material and be mountable to protect it against theft. As a rule, you do not receive such covers individually but in a set.

 


TIP:

Many outdoor covers are visually very appealing. These can also find a place in the interior design.


 

Please do not use interior covers in damp rooms or outdoors. As a rule, these switch ranges do not offer the necessary protection.

Do covers for switches and buttons break easily?

Covers for switches and buttons are actuated several times a day, depending on where they are used. However, the loads on the material are low. The high-quality products from all major manufacturers have proven to be very robust in everyday use. With careful handling, the covers can last for several decades. During assembly and disassembly, there is a risk of damage if, for example, you overtighten the assembly screw. Benefit from our huge selection and the low prices for covers from Alre-it, Berker, Busch Jaeger, DEHN, Eaton, Elso, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Jung, Legrand Bticino, Legrand SEKO, Merten, OBO, Peha, Rademacher, Siemens , Somfy, Tehalit and Thebes. The products in our catalog are sorted by relevance. This makes it easier for you to find the right item for you.
