Solera in-cord switches: 40B, 40N and 6541

The English selection also lists the white 6541 single-pole switch, rated 6 A and 250 V~. Check the reference rather than assigning one rating to the range.

Selecting the component
Select for the circuit, cable and available mounting space, not colour alone. Rated current must not be converted automatically into switching capacity for every LED load: check the lamp and its supply gear. The listed function is switching; these references must not be presented as dimmers, changeover switches or emergency-stop pushbuttons.
Selection must respect the voltage, current, power and thermal conditions of both the component and the luminaire. Disconnect the supply before installation or replacement and follow the manufacturer’s instructions; a matching lamp cap alone does not validate the complete assembly.
Frequently asked questions
Do 40B and 40N have different electrical ratings?
Both are listed at 4 A and 250 V~. The additional 6541 is rated 6 A and 250 V~. Check the exact product marking and load compatibility.
Can these switches dim a lamp?
The listed function is in-cord on/off switching. Dimming is not specified.
Does the off position make it safe to work on the cable?
Disconnect the supply before installing, opening or replacing the component. The off position does not replace supply disconnection.
