Berker 5036 Rocker Switch Insert, 1-Pole Changeover, 10 A, 250 V, Flush-Mounted, Screw Terminals, Grey

For installers who need a reliable changeover switching point without committing to a fixed rocker design, the Berker 5036 rocker switch insert delivers exactly that. Unlike complete switches that lock you into a specific aesthetic, this modular insert works with a wide range of Berker cover plates and rockers, so the final look can be matched to the room or project. The 1-pole changeover (Wechsler) function supports two-way switching circuits, making it suitable for staircases, corridors, and rooms with multiple switch points. With a 10 A / 250 V AC rating and screw terminals, it handles standard lighting loads while ensuring a secure, maintenance-free connection.

Highlights

• 1-pole changeover contact (Wechsler) for two-way switching
• Rated for 10 A, 250 V AC – suitable for typical lighting circuits
• Screw terminals accept rigid conductors from 1.5 to 2.5 mm²
• Flush-mounted installation with a compact 24.5 mm depth
• Halogen-free thermoplastic housing for improved fire safety
• IP20 protection – intended for indoor use only
• Compatible with Berker S.1, B.3, B.7, K.1, K.5, Q.1, Q.3, R.1, R.3, and Arsys ranges

In daily use

The insert is installed behind a Berker rocker and frame (sold separately), giving you complete freedom to choose the visual style. The grey mechanism is hidden once the rocker is fitted, so it does not affect the final appearance. The screw terminals are angled for easier access during wiring, and the insert clicks securely into standard flush-mounted boxes. Because the changeover contact is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT), it can be used in classic two-way switching arrangements with a second changeover switch. The operating temperature range of -5 to +40 °C covers most indoor environments, and the halogen-free material means no corrosive gases are released in the event of a fire.
