Euro 6A bell push, 240 V AC — a non-modular, plate-type push switch with a bell symbol, for doorbells and buzzers on piano-type switchboards.
- Momentary: the bell rings only while the push is pressed.
- Bell symbol printed on the push.
- Rated 6A, 240 V AC.
- Polycarbonate body; the plate fixes with two screws, top and bottom.
- Two screw terminals on the back.
- Matches the Euro 1 way and 2 way switches on the same board.
- For bells and buzzers only — not for lights or fans.
A bell push closes the circuit only while it is pressed, so the doorbell or buzzer rings for as long as a visitor holds it and stops when they let go. This is the non-modular Euro version: a plate-type push switch that screws onto a switchboard sheet, matching the Euro 6A 1 way and 2 way switches.
Wire it in the phase to the bell; the neutral goes straight to the bell. A household doorbell or buzzer draws only a small current, well within the 6A rating.
What you need with it
- A doorbell or buzzer made for 240 V AC mains.
- A switchboard sheet or box with an opening for the switch body behind the plate.
- A phase wire through the bell push to the bell, and a neutral straight to the bell.
For a modular switchboard, choose a modular bell push instead — this one has its own plate.
Where to use it
- Main door and gate bells on non-modular boards.
- Calling bells in offices, clinics, hostels and shops.
- Replacing an old bell push on an existing board.
How to install
- Switch off the supply at the MCB.
- Connect the phase from the board to one terminal and the wire to the bell to the other; take the neutral straight to the bell.
- Fit the switch in the board opening and fix the plate with two screws.
- Test that the bell rings only while the push is pressed.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a bell push switch?
- A momentary switch: it is on only while pressed and springs back to off when released — exactly what a doorbell or buzzer needs.
- Can I use it for a light?
- No. It does not stay on. Use the Euro 1 way switch for lights and fans.
- Is it modular?
- No. It is a non-modular, plate-type switch for piano-type switchboards. For modular boards, see our modular bell push switches.
- Does it need a neutral?
- No. It breaks only the phase to the bell; the neutral runs directly to the bell.
- Can I fix it outside at the gate?
- It is made for indoor boards. In a spot exposed to rain, fit it inside a weatherproof enclosure.
