Anchor Roma 20A Switch With Indicator

Product Details

Key Specifications & Features Rated current: 20 A at ~240 V AC — suitable for heavier loads compared with standard 10 A switches. Configuration: 1-Way Switch — one input, one output controlled location. For example the model number 66144B is “20A 1 Module 1 Way Switch with Indicator”. Indicator feature: The “With Indicator” version includes a built-in indicator lamp (neon/LED) to show the switch-ON status or assist locating the switch in low light. For example a listing: “Anchor Roma 20A 1 Module 1 Way Black Switch with Indicator, 66144B”. Module size: Typically 1-Module size for this variant, meaning it will fit a standard 1-module gang/plate. For example listing says 1 M. Build & finish: Body material: Polycarbonate (or high-quality plastic) in several listings. Colour/Finish: Variants include white finish and black (in some listings). For example black variant “20A…Black Switch With Indicator”. Design features: According to a specification page, the 16A/20A switch with LED indicator lists features like: “Dust Free Finish”, “Screws do not Fall Away”, “Slim & Sleek Design”, “IP 20 protection and Switches are IS”. Series & compatibility: Part of the Roma / Roma Urban / Roma Plus modular switch family by Anchor — which means it is designed to integrate with matching plates/frames for aesthetic uniformity. For example: “Roma Urban 20A Switch with Indicator, 1Way, 1M (66144)”. --- Application & Considerations Use‐case: Ideal where you need a higher-capacity switch (20A) but also want the convenience of a visual indicator (for example corridor switches, service rooms, heavier lighting circuits, or maybe circuits you want to easily locate in darkness). Because of the 20A rating, this switch gives you more margin for load (fans, lighting banks, some appliance circuits) compared to the more common 10A rating. The built-in indicator is helpful in low-light or service areas where you might want a quick visual of ON/OFF state. Modular compatibility: As a 1-module device, it should fit typical Indian modular plates/frames (assuming your plate supports the series). For installation in humid or coastal areas (e.g., Chennai), ensure good wiring practice: proper wire gauge, tight terminals, sealed back-box, and good earthing, to maximise safety and lifespan. Since it’s a high-rating switch, ensure that the upstream wiring/MCB/CB is suitable for 20A so you don’t under-spec the circuit. --- Things to Verify / Before Purchase Confirm exact model number and finish (white/black) as there are multiple variants (e.g., 66144B for black version with indicator). Verify that the indicator lamp type meets your needs (some may use neon vs LED). Ensure that your wall plate/cover frame is compatible with the Roma series and that you have a 1-module slot available. Check that your circuit load justifies a 20A rated switch — if the load is small, a lower rating might be sufficient and more cost-effective. Confirm that the product is genuine (Anchor by Panasonic) and has warranty support. Review wiring and installation: ensure proper wire gauge (for 20A, likely 2.5 mm² or greater depending length and load), correct MCB/CB rated accordingly, and avoid loose connections — which can be particularly important with higher current devices.
