Trinity 16A 1 Way Switch Module

• Represents the functional core of the Trinity modular wiring system, providing reliable single-location ON/OFF control.
• Designed as a standalone component that clips into any compatible Trinity yoke, offering unparalleled customization.
• Empowers users to create bespoke switch plates by combining this module with other functions like dimmers, data sockets, or bell presses.
• Features a robust 16A mechanism, making it the standard choice for most residential and commercial lighting circuits.
• Engineered for a secure, positive-click fit, ensuring a fast, easy, and reliable installation into the mounting frame (yoke).
• Maintains the cohesive and modern Trinity aesthetic, allowing for a perfectly matched look across all custom switch configurations.

Features

• Modular Design: A compact, self-contained switch unit designed to be clipped into the Trinity range of yokes (mounting frames).
• 16A Switching Capacity: Rated for a full 16A at 250V AC, providing a high-capacity solution for all standard lighting and extractor fan loads.
• 1-Way Switching Function: Provides a simple single-pole, single-throw mechanism for ON/OFF control from one location.
• Secure Clip-In System: Features integrated clips that lock the module firmly and securely into the yoke with a satisfying click.
• Durable Polycarbonate Casing: The module body is constructed from high-quality, impact-resistant polycarbonate for electrical safety and long-term durability.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed to fit any aperture in the Trinity 4x2 and 4x4 yokes, from 1-lever to 6-lever configurations.
• Dual Colour Options: Available in classic White and modern Black Graphite to perfectly match the corresponding yokes and cover plates.
• SANS 60669-1 Certified: Rigorously tested and approved to meet the highest South African safety and performance standards for switches.

Benefits

• Ultimate Customization: The modular format is the key to flexibility. Mix and match this switch module with other modules in a multi-lever yoke to create the exact combination of controls you need in one place.
• Cost-Effective Upgrades & Repairs: If a switch ever needs to be replaced or you decide to upgrade to a dimmer, you only need to swap out the inexpensive module, not the entire switch plate and frame.
• Simplified Inventory: A major advantage for electricians and contractors. Stocking individual modules and yokes separately is more efficient and versatile than stocking dozens of different pre-configured switch plates.
• Fast, Screwless Installation: The module clips directly into the yoke without needing its own screws, dramatically speeding up the final assembly of the switch plate.
• Guaranteed Performance: The robust 16A rating ensures it can safely and reliably handle everything from a single LED bulb to a large bank of fluorescent lights or a powerful bathroom fan.
• Flawless Aesthetic Consistency: Ensures that every switch lever on a custom plate looks and feels identical, maintaining the clean, uniform appearance of the Trinity range.

Product Specifications

Required Components for a Complete Unit

This is a module component and requires additional parts for a complete, functional installation:

• Trinity Yoke: A mounting frame that fits into the wall box. This module is compatible with all Trinity yokes (e.g., TS2011Y, TS2021Y, TS4041Y).

Ideal Use

The Trinity 16A 1 Way Switch Module is the fundamental component for any modular wiring installation.

• Custom Multi-Gang Panels: Perfect for creating unique switch plates in kitchens, living rooms, and offices where multiple circuits are controlled from one location.
• Standard Lighting Control: The core component for single-lever switches when clipped into a 1-lever yoke.
• Large-Scale Developments: Ideal for new builds where the flexibility to finalise switch configurations late in the project is an advantage.
• Electrical Maintenance: A must-have for electricians for performing quick and cost-effective repairs on Trinity installations.
• Phased Renovations: Allows homeowners to install the basic infrastructure and decide on specific control types (e.g., switch vs. dimmer) at a later stage.

Tips

• This is Not a Complete Switch: It is critical to understand that this product is a module only. You MUST purchase a compatible Trinity Yoke and a Trinity Cover Plate to create a functional switch.
• Installation Sequence: For easiest installation, wire the conductors to the module first. Then, firmly press the module into the desired position in the yoke until it clicks into place. Finally, mount the yoke assembly into the wall box.
• Check Your Requirement: This is a 1-way switch module for single-point control. If you need to control a light from two different locations, you must use the Trinity 16A 2 Way Switch Module (TSM002).
• Safe Wiring: Always ensure the mains power is switched off before handling wiring. Securely terminate the live (L) and switched live conductors into the clearly marked terminals on the rear of the module.
• Removing a Module: To remove a module from a yoke, use a small flathead screwdriver to carefully depress the retaining clip on the side of the yoke aperture and gently push the module out from the back.
