Ajax SoloButton 46000.144.IV 1-Gang 2-Way Retractive Switch Ivory

The Ajax SoloButton 46000.144.IV is a 1-gang retractive push button switch built for doorbell and momentary control circuits. On a project spec sheet, that means one thing: it makes contact only while pressed, then springs back — no maintained "on" state.

Where it fits on a job

For installers wiring entrance signalling on retail premises, offices or residential blocks, this switch pairs with a 2-way switching configuration, so it can be wired into circuits needing a temporary contact closure — door entry bell pushes, control relays, or staff-call buttons at reception desks.

Practical selection factors

• Finish: ivory — suited to domestic and light commercial interiors where a neutral plate is wanted, rather than a visible metal or dark contrast finish.
• Back box compatibility: fits standard UK back boxes, so it drops into existing single-gang wiring without adapting the containment.
• Circuit rating: intended for low-voltage signalling or bell circuits, not mains switching loads.
• Build: plastic faceplate and button mechanism, sized for wall mounting at entrances or reception points.

Because it's a retractive (momentary) switch rather than a maintained one, don't specify it where a permanent on/off state is needed — that's a different mechanism. Confirm the back box gang size and circuit voltage against the rest of the door entry or bell system before ordering for a multi-door spec.
