Mounting and footprint are optimized for dense control panels. The 1-gang, 2-pole flush-mounted design uses an 81 mm square footprint with a shallow 17 mm built-in depth, easing panel integration and reducing assembly clearance requirements. Screw fastening provides a secure fit in panels of varying thickness, while the compact 43.6 g weight supports lightweight housings and reduces overall panel mass. This translates to more reliable panel assemblies and faster field deployments in automation projects. Plug clamp wiring speeds installation by delivering quick, reliable terminations without loose screws. This reduces commissioning time and minimizes field wiring errors, which is critical in high-volume manufacturing and machine builds. The combination of plug clamps and a single rocker reduces connection points and improves vibration resistance in rugged environments. Electrical performance is designed for indoor control tasks: 250 V rated voltage and 10 A rated current, with a maximum switching current specified as Fluorescent Lamps 10 A. The device supports 1 rocker switch and 2-pole operation, enabling straightforward control of simple circuits and signaling within a compact footprint. Illumination is optional, with function lighting indicated as Illuminated (on) in the spec. This enables immediate status indication for operator feedback or diagnostic signaling without adding bulk or extra components, simplifying panel design and reducing wiring complexity in lighting control applications. Compliance and lifecycle attributes are clearly documented: CE Declaration and RoHS REACH declarations are provided, with WEEE category 5 designation for small equipment. It replaces the older 3559-A02345, which helps procurement teams migrate smoothly while maintaining regulatory traceability and sustainability reporting. Finally, the product aligns with common industry standards (ETIM EC001590) and supports straightforward retrofits into existing ABB 3559-compatible panels. Together with the compact size and light weight, it offers predictable installation outcomes, reduced total cost of ownership, and robust performance in automotive, packaging, and general industrial automation applications.

FAQs
This model uses a flush-mounted mounting type with screw fastening for secure panel installation. It is a 1-gang, 2-pole device with an 81 mm square footprint and a built-in depth of 17 mm, making it ideal for tight control panels. The plug-clamp wiring option simplifies terminations and reduces field wiring time, improving overall installation efficiency.
The unit is rated for 250 V and 10 A, suitable for standard control circuits in industrial panels. The maximum switching current is specified as 10 A for fluorescent lamps, and it features a single rocker switch in a 2-pole configuration. The device is designed for indoor use with IP20 protection, supporting safe operation in enclosed environments.
Illumination is optional for this insert, with the Function field documenting Illuminated (on). When selected, the switch provides a visible status indication that helps operators verify the circuit state at a glance. This adds value in machine rooms and control panels where lighting feedback improves fault diagnosis and trim-time during commissioning.
The model carries CE conformity and RoHS/REACH declarations, ensuring compliance with European regulatory frameworks. WEEE category 5 classifies it as Small Equipment for disposal guidance. The product also references the legacy replacement 3559-A02345, aiding migration in procurement and compliance reporting while maintaining traceability.
Plug-clamp wiring provides quick terminations with fewer loose connections, reducing wiring time and the risk of terminal loosening under vibration. This is especially beneficial in high-volume panel builds and machinery downtime scenarios, where faster commissioning and more robust electrical connections translate to lower labor costs and improved system reliability.
