Clipsal Mechanisms – AGM Electrical Supplies

Want reliable, stylish, and easy to install switch and socket mechanisms? You’ll find the full suite of Clipsal Mechanisms here at AGM Electrical Supplies. From basic rocker switches to specialised push-button and indicator mechanisms, we’ve got what you need to upgrade your power points and lighting controls—fast and with confidence.

What Are Mechanisms & Why They Matter

“Mechanisms” refer to the internal switch or module inside a light switch, power point or socket faceplate—the part that does the work when you flick, rock, press, or dim. It’s not just about style—how a mechanism is built affects safety, durability, and user experience. Good mechanisms mean smooth action, low electrical noise, long life, and compliance with safety standards.

Wide Range of Clipsal Mechanisms We Offer

Here are some of the types you’ll discover in our lineup:

• Rocker / toggle switch mechanisms – classic on/off switches, usually 1- or 2-way, found in 30 Series, Iconic, Standard, etc.
• Push-button mechanisms – for doorbells, timers, or momentary actions; some include LED or neon indicators.
• Intermediate switches – allow you to control lighting from more than two locations, handy for stairways or hallways.
• Light dimmer / fan controller mech modules – built-in control for variable lighting or fan speed.
• Indicator/neon and LED ready mechanisms – so you can see status (e.g., power on, off, or when lights are running).

All mechanisms support standard ratings (usually 10A or 20A at 250V), compatible with standard Clipsal plates and modules. You’ll also find popular colours like White Electric, Black, Chrome, etc.

Features That Make Clipsal Mechanisms Stand Out

When you choose Clipsal mechanisms, you’re getting more than just a cheap switch. Key advantages include:

• Reliable operation with rock solid internals — little “give” in rocker, clean contact, no buzzing.
• Safety via proper insulation, approvals, and compliant materials.
• Flexibility — mix and match mechanisms for sockets, switches, dimmers. Want neon-indicator or LED prep? It’s available.
• Easy installation — standard module sizes (e.g. 30 Series) make swapping out or upgrading quick and neat.

How to Choose the Right Mechanism for Your Needs

Here are quick tips:

1. Identify how many way switching you need (1-way, 2-way, or intermediate).
2. Decide whether you want indicators (neon/LED) or colours beyond standard white.
3. Match the amp rating (usually 10A/20A) to what the circuit demands.
4. Ensure the mechanism is compatible with the faceplate/style you have (30 Series, Iconic, etc.).
5. Consider whether you want dimmers or fan controls integrated for additional comfort/control.

FAQs

What is a Clipsal mechanism? 

A Clipsal mechanism is the internal switch or module that fits inside a Clipsal plate, controlling power points, lights, dimmers, or indicators.

Yes, Clipsal 30 Series mechanisms are designed to fit most standard Clipsal plates, making them easy to install or swap out.

What is the difference between a rocker mechanism and a push-button mechanism? 

A rocker mechanism works with a simple on/off action, while a push-button mechanism is used for momentary actions like doorbells or timers.

Can I use Clipsal mechanisms for dimmers and fan controls? 

Yes, Clipsal offers dimmer and fan controller mechanisms that fit into standard plates, letting you control lighting levels and fan speeds.

Do Clipsal mechanisms come with indicator lights? 

Some Clipsal mechanisms include neon or LED indicators, allowing you to see when a switch or circuit is active.
