20AX DP Grid Switch Module - Matt White

Description

Description
The Knightsbridge 20AX DP grid module is a single-gang switch insert designed to clip into modular grid mounting frames (sold separately). The module provides double pole switching, isolating both live and neutral lines when switched off, rated at 20A (4,600W at 230V). The matt white finish matches standard UK wall accessories and blends into white or light-coloured interiors.

Grid systems allow multiple switches, sockets and data ports to be combined in a single wall plate, making them suited to kitchens, home offices and commercial installations where multiple circuits need controlling from one location. This module occupies one grid space (approximately 25mm width), so two can fit side-by-side in a dual mounting frame or three in a triple frame. The clip-in fitting means modules can be added, removed or swapped without rewiring the entire assembly.

The module body is moulded from ABS polymer with steel internal contacts and terminals. At 56mm high and 25mm wide, the module sits flush within the grid frame, projecting 7mm from the front of the frame once clipped in. A 35mm minimum back box depth is required for installation, the same as standard UK wiring accessories. The IP20 rating restricts use to dry indoor locations — grid modules do not carry the IP ratings needed for outdoor exposure.

Frequently Asked
What is a grid system and what frames does this module fit?

Grid systems allow multiple switches, sockets and data modules to be combined in a single wall plate. This module clips into Knightsbridge grid mounting frames (sold separately), available in 1-gang, 2-gang, 3-gang and larger configurations. The module itself occupies one grid space.

What does 20AX DP mean?

20AX is the current rating (20 amps), suitable for loads up to 4,600W at 230V. DP stands for double pole, meaning the switch isolates both the live and neutral lines when turned off, providing additional safety over single-pole switching.

Can this be used in bathrooms or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20, so it is for dry indoor rooms only.

What other finishes are available in this range?

Knightsbridge produces grid modules in a range of finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, antique brass and matt black. Use the search function or filters to find other variants in stock at Niori.
