PCE Switches and sockets
When you’re specifying wall-switch and socket hardware for commercial or industrial installations, you need more than just “a switch and a plate”. Choose pce switches and sockets and you’re looking at a system designed for durability, reuse, modularity and service-friendly maintenance. The PCE brand brings industrial-grade quality into wall switches, power sockets, modular combos and decorative switch sets — which means fewer failures, fewer surprise visits, better lifecycle cost.
PCE Wall Switches – durability & repeatable install
Let’s talk about pce wall switches. For high-use environments (offices, schools, hospitals), look for switches rated at least 20,000 cycles, metal switching contacts (silver alloy), minimum IP20 for indoor. Select mounting frames that permit “cam-switch” insertion, snap-in reinforcements, quick-release terminals (2.5 mm² or 4 mm²). Field advice: lock your finish (white RAL9003, grey, stainless) and module family so all switches look identical across zones, simplifying spares and service.
PCE Power Sockets – high spec meets service logistics
With pce power sockets you must check: rated current (16 A, 20 A, 32 A) and voltage (230 V or 400 V three-phase), earthing continuity, child-proof shutters if required, modular mounting in standard backboxes (60 mm or more). PCE’s industrial legacy shows in robust housings and strong terminals. For procurement: choose boxes with captive screws, fix-depth limiting brackets, and clearly labeled part-codes for maintenance traceability.
PCE Modular Switch-Socket Combos – mixing functions smartly
When you need both switch and socket under one faceplate, go with pce modular switch-socket combos. These allow you to combine e.g. one lighting switch plus one power socket or one USB charger plus socket in a compatible mounting frame. The value: one cut-out in the wall, one universal frame, same finish and same spare-parts logic. Specification wise: verify that the frame supports both modules in terms of current, heat dissipation and wiring clearance. Modules from the same family avoid mismatches later.
PCE Decorative Switch Sets – aesthetics without compromise
In premium zones you need pce decorative switch sets — these feature plated finishes (chrome, brushed nickel), flush-mounted frames, low-profile actuators, ambient-light indicators and compatibility with the same module family behind. Even though they look “design”-oriented, you still need to check electrical spec (thing like 10 A switch rating, 250 V), structure (metal frame behind plate for rigidity), and service access (cover plate screw or snap clip). For procurement: order all finishes of one project at the same time to keep tone and texture consistent.
Technical & installation checklist
- Confirm mounting depth: standard EU wall-box = 60 mm; modules + faceplate + wiring need ~70 mm clearance.
- Wiring terminals: check conductor size allowed (2.5 mm², 4 mm²) and tightening torque (usually ~0.8–1.0 Nm).
- Earthing: metal frames must ensure earthing continuity; missing earth tag = common cause of inspection failure.
- Modular compatibility: make sure modules and frames are from the same series so faceplate snaps correctly and screw-hole spacing aligns.
- Spare-parts strategy: keep 5 % extra modules in same batch/finish for maintenance.
- Documentation: specify full part code, finish, module type and batch number to ease replacement and service ordering.
Procurement & B2B supply logistics
Buying PCE switches and sockets via wholesale means you should:
- Confirm the stock status: many PCE parts listed as “in stock from Latvia warehouse” for quick EU dispatch.
- Specify finish and module family up-front to avoid last-minute substitution.
- Order full project zone at once: finish textures vary slightly per production batch, mixing them later may show visible differences.
- Chart packaging: e.g., frames may come 10 pieces per carton; modules maybe trays of 50. Keep documentation of batch codes for warranty and trace.
- Ensure distributor offers full manufacturer warranty and original parts — PCE has >22 000 items produced under ISO quality system.
