The TBC B8-102 1 Gang 2 Way Switch is engineered for flexible lighting control from two different locations, offering superior convenience and reliability. Featuring high-quality polycarbonate construction and a modern slim design, this switch is ideal for staircases, corridors, bedrooms, and large commercial spaces. With 10A rated performance and dual mounting options, the B8-102 delivers professional-grade switching solutions for both residential and commercial installations.
The TBC B8-102 represents the perfect combination of functionality, durability, and design in modern electrical switching solutions. As part of the B8 Series, this 1 Gang 2 Way switch enables users to control a single lighting circuit from two different locations—a feature that significantly enhances convenience in residential and commercial settings.
Constructed entirely from high-grade polycarbonate material, the B8-102 offers exceptional mechanical strength and long-term reliability. The rocker-style switching mechanism provides smooth, tactile operation while maintaining stable electrical contact throughout its extended service life. With a compact 86mm x 86mm footprint, this switch integrates seamlessly into standard electrical boxes and mounting configurations.
The versatile design supports both surface and flush mounting applications, making it suitable for new construction projects as well as renovation and retrofit installations. The pillar-type terminal configuration accommodates conductors up to 2.5mm², with clearly marked COM, L1, and L2 terminals that simplify installation and reduce wiring errors.
Engineered for demanding environments, the B8-102 operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-5°C to +40°C) and humidity levels up to 95%, ensuring consistent performance in various indoor conditions. The switch is fully compliant with IEC 60669-1 international standards, providing assurance of quality, safety, and performance.
Electrical Characteristics: The B8-102 is rated for 10A at 250V AC, providing ample capacity for standard lighting circuits. The brass and phosphor bronze contact materials ensure low contact resistance and minimal voltage drop, while delivering excellent arc suppression and long mechanical life.
Construction & Materials: All major components—including the plate, dolly (rocker), and base—are manufactured from premium polycarbonate (PC) material. This engineering thermoplastic offers superior impact resistance, dimensional stability, and flame retardant properties, ensuring safe and reliable operation throughout the product lifecycle.
Terminal Configuration: The switch features pillar-type terminals designed for secure conductor connection. The three-terminal layout (COM, L1, L2) supports standard 2-way switching configurations, with connection capacity suitable for conductors up to 2.5mm² cross-sectional area. Clear terminal marking facilitates correct wiring and reduces installation time.
Mechanical Design: The rocker mechanism is precision-engineered to deliver smooth, positive switching action with excellent tactile feedback. The design ensures long mechanical life with consistent performance over hundreds of thousands of switching cycles.
Protection & Environment: With IP20 protection rating, the B8-102 is designed for indoor use, providing protection against solid objects greater than 12.5mm. The switch operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -5°C to +40°C and relative humidity up to 95%, making it suitable for most indoor residential and commercial environments.
Standards Compliance: Manufactured in full compliance with IEC 60669-1 (Switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations), ensuring the product meets international requirements for safety, performance, and reliability.
