PATRON Frames for switches and sockets

When an installation calls for switch-socket assemblies that are both modular and robust, professionals turn to patron frames switches and sockets — not just because the brand name is short, but because the interface, mounting and logistics are suited for repeatable commercial-spec work. These frames and cover plates matter as much as the mechanism behind them. If you order the wrong “frame + cover plate” you end up with adaptors, misalignment, wasted labour.

Patron Modular Frames – standardisation across devices

With patron modular frames, you get a systemised platform: one mounting frame accommodates various modules (single switch, double switch, socket combinations). The frame size is typically 86 × 86 mm or metric multiples thereof, compatible with standard back-boxes in EU. Installation crews benefit from: mounting holes spaced at 60 mm, frame thickness 2.5 mm milled steel or heavy-duty polycarbonate, finished SKUs aligned across switches & sockets. For large rollouts this standardisation cuts labour time by maybe 20 % compared with bespoke frames.

Patron Decorative Cover Plates – design meets installation

When the look matters as much as the function, you specify patron decorative cover plates. These plates align flush with wall surfaces, have chamfered or rounded edges, finish variants (white RAL 9003, satin-nickel, black matt) and allow the mechanism to sit 3–4 mm behind plate surface for wiring clearance. Installation tip: ensure plate-module clearance is ≥ 8 mm to avoid actuator interference. For high-end zones you’ll want CR ≈ 8, rating IP20 for indoor spaces; if wet zones then look for compatible IP44 variants.

Patron Switch Socket Frames – compatibility & serviceability

In mixed usage zones (e.g., offices, labs), patron switch socket frames let you mix one socket module + one switch module under a single frame easily. The frame supports both 16 A socket modules and standard switches; terminal block access remains unchanged so service staff know they’re dealing with the same footprint. On maintenance jobs this reduces part numbers and simplifies spares logistics. Procurement should specify frame part-code + module combo so there’s no mismatches on site.

Patron Installation Frames – mechanical fit and wiring clarity

For new builds or refurbishments, the choice of patron installation frames is critical. These frames are designed for mounting into standard flush back-boxes (60 mm depth) or plasterboard boxes (48 mm). Key features: stop tabs to prevent over-screw, captive earth terminal link if required, metal lugs for grounding continuity, quick-release side screws for snap-in of cover plates. Field-note: doing a trial install of one typical frame in each zone helps highlight hidden wall clearances or conduit conflicts before bulk ordering.

Procurement & Logistics – B2B buying for patron frames and covers

Ordering Patron frames switches and sockets for a commercial project means you must lock down a few things:

• Confirm the frame cage code and finish (e.g., ALU satin, black, white) so all plates look uniform later.
• Order full batch for a zone to avoid later visible finish shift.
• Pack size: typically 10 frames per carton; check lead-time for rare finishes.
• Maintain 2–3 % spare frames + cover plates for maintenance.
• Store finished frames flat (no warping) and protect from moisture to avoid corrosion or swelling in polycarbonate models.
• Ensure your distributor provides full traceability, finish details and matching SKU list for switch and socket modules.
