Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SoloButton 46000.144.IV designed for?
It's a 1-gang retractive push button switch for doorbell systems and other momentary control applications, such as bell activation or control relays.
Does it fit standard UK back boxes?
Yes, it's compatible with standard UK back boxes for straightforward integration into existing wiring.
Can it be used for maintained (on/off) switching?
No — it's a retractive switch, meaning it returns to its original position after being pressed, so it suits momentary activation rather than maintained switching.
What circuit types is it rated for?
The internal contacts are suitable for low-voltage signalling or bell circuits, not mains switching loads.
