Anchor Roma 20A 1 Way Switch

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Brand/Series: Anchor (by Panasonic) — Roma range. Model / Part number: 21066 is commonly listed for the 20 A 1-Way version. Rated current: 20 A for the circuit. Rated voltage: 240 V AC (typical for Indian residential supply) for this version. Switch type: 1-Way — single location control of one circuit. Module size: 1 Module (fits standard modular plate) for the model referenced. Material / construction: Body material listed as polycarbonate for the referenced listing. Finish/Colour: White is common in listings (though other series/finishes may exist). Additional build features: According to catalog brochure, the Roma range uses technologies like “Accelerated Gliding Technology” for high contact pressure, quick make-/break, low voltage drop. (From Roma switches catalogue) --- Typical Uses & Considerations Suitable for heavy/light installations where more current capacity is needed than standard 10 A switches — e.g., circuit feeding larger banks of lighting, heavy fans, or multiple loads on one switch where you want a safety margin. Good for residential/commercial installation where the wiring is designed for higher load.                                                                                                                                                          Since it is 1-Way, it should be used where only one switch location is controlling the load — if you require two-location control (e.g., top & bottom of stairs) a 2-Way version would be needed. Because of the higher rating (20 A), ensure the upstream wiring, breakers/fuses, and load are compatible — installing a 20 A switch does not automatically mean the wiring is safe for heavier loads. From an aesthetic standpoint, it integrates within the modular Roma plates and accessories, so replacement or matching is easier in modern interiors. --- What to Check / Before Buying & Installing Confirm part number: For example, 21066 (or its exact variant) to ensure you are getting the correct 20 A 1-Way version. Check module size and plate compatibility: While this version is 1 Module, your wall plate/frame might require 2 Module or a different size depending on layout — ensure the new switch will physically fit. Check finish/colour: Important if you have existing switches/sockets and want uniform look (white, black, metallic finish etc). Verify load requirement & wiring: Make sure the load on this switch circuit actually justifies 20 A; if the wiring is undersized, switch may be over-rating which can lead to safety issues. Ensure installation quality: Especially in humid/coastal regions like Chennai, ensure proper mounting, sealed back-box, correct cable sizes, tight connections, secure earth/ground. Check brand authenticity & warranty: Buy from authorised distributor so you have genuine product and warranty support. Review switch compatibility with plate/series: The Anchor Roma series often comes with matching plates and accessories — if mixing series you might get mismatched look or fit.
