Product Description
The Ajax SoloButton 46000.144.IV is a 1-gang retractive push button switch — press it and it springs straight back rather than staying "on". That makes it a momentary switch, the type used for doorbells or a quick control pulse rather than for lighting you leave switched on.
What it's for
This is built for doorbell systems and similar momentary control applications — door entry signalling, bell activation, or triggering a control relay. The 2-way switching configuration lets it be wired into circuits that need a brief contact closure rather than a permanent connection.
Fitting it
It's designed to fit standard UK back boxes, so it goes into a normal single-gang wall box without special adaptation. The internal contacts are meant for low-voltage signalling or bell circuits — domestic doorbell wiring or similar control systems, not mains switching.
What you get
- 1-gang retractive push button, 2-way switching
- Ivory finish, suited to residential and light commercial interiors
- Durable plastic faceplate and button mechanism
- Fits standard UK back boxes
Check your existing doorbell or control circuit is low-voltage signalling before fitting, since that's what this switch is designed for.
