Introduction

The perfect solution for a flat design

The design of switches and socket outlets needs to meet indi-

vidual requirements. After all, they're usually on open view

and are not likely to be replaced in a hurry. But design is about

more than just appearance. Above all, it must be functional.

The material is the key:

For fast assembly of the components, you

need to be able to rely on the high quality of

the material. Thermosetting plastic parts are

inclined to break when dropped or secured

too tightly. Furthermore, thermosetting plas-

tic surfaces have an uneven appearance and

look cheap – which is why all our plastic

design parts are made of thermoplastic. They

are also far less likely to break when subject

to minor deformations. The shiny thermo-

plastic surfaces are also easy to clean and

offer outstanding protection against yellow-

ing and soiling.

Compared to the convention-

ally designed switches and

socket outlets of other manu-

facturers, Siemens offers the

ﬂattest switches to date

when using standardized ﬂush-

mounting boxes.
