Switches, Sockets & Modular Switch Board - Buy Anchor by Panasonic & Goldmedal Online

Switches are touched more often than almost any other fitting in a home, so their feel and reliability matter as much as their price. At Fixxly, this range covers Anchor by Panasonic and Goldmedal - one-way switches across 6A, 10A, 16A and 20A ratings, 3 pin sockets and twin sockets, the Penta Modular switch board system with matching cover plates in multiple module counts, and fan regulators, with Electrical Accessories as a sibling subcategory in this same department. This guide covers the modular switch board system, socket types, and switch socket combinations actually stocked here.

Shop switches, sockets and accessories by type

• Switches, Sockets & Plates - the range currently populating this page.
• Electrical Accessories - a separate subcategory with its own dedicated page.

Switches - one way, in every common rating

Fixxly stocks Anchor Roma Classic and Anchor Penta Modular one-way switches across 6AX, 10A, 16AX and 20A ratings, including versions with a neon indicator that shows when the switch is on. Anchor Roma 32A DP 1 Way Socket with Neon covers heavier double-pole switching for higher loads. The rating you need depends on the load - lighting circuits generally use the lighter ratings, while heavier appliances need the 20A and 32A DP options.

3 pin sockets and twin sockets

Fixxly stocks the Anchor Penta Modular 2M 6A 3 Pin Round Socket and the Anchor Roma Classic 6A 3 Pin Socket for standard household plug points. For points needing more than one outlet, the Anchor Roma Classic 6A/16A Twin Socket and Anchor Penta Modular 2M 6/16A Polycarbonate Twin Socket combine a lighter and heavier-rated socket on one module, letting a single point serve both light devices and heavier appliances.

Modular electrical switch board - the Penta system

The Penta Modular range is Anchor's modular electrical switch board system, where individual switch, socket and blank modules clip into a shared frame and are finished with a cover plate. Fixxly stocks Penta Modular cover plates in 8M and 12M configurations, both in plain white and with a chrome collar finish, alongside Roma Classic Deko cover plates in 3M, 6M and 8M module counts. This modular approach means a single switch board can be configured exactly to what that point needs - switches, sockets, or a mix - rather than being a fixed, single-purpose fitting.

Fan regulators and blank modules

Fixxly stocks the Anchor 5 Step High Speed Fan Regulator, the Anchor Roma Tiny EME Fan Step Regulator, and the Goldmedal Air 1M 4 Step Fan Regulator, giving a choice of step-count and brand for controlling fan speed from the switch board. A Goldmedal Air 1M Blank Module fills an unused position on a modular plate, keeping the board looking finished even where not every slot is in use.

Choosing switch and socket ratings

• Lighting points: a 6AX or 10A one-way switch covers standard light and fan circuits.
• General plug points: a 6A 3 pin socket for small devices, or a 6A/16A twin socket where both light and heavier loads may be plugged in.
• Heavier appliances: step up to a 16AX or 20A switch, or the 32A DP socket for the heaviest points.
• Fan speed control: choose a 4 or 5 step regulator depending on how fine-grained the speed control needs to be.

What is the Penta Modular system?

Penta Modular is Anchor's modular electrical switch board range, where individual switch, socket and blank modules clip into a shared frame and are finished with a cover plate, letting one switch board be configured exactly to what that point needs.

What is a twin socket used for?

A twin socket, like the Anchor Roma Classic 6A/16A Twin Socket, combines a lighter and heavier-rated outlet on one module, letting a single point serve both light devices and heavier appliances without needing two separate sockets.

What switch rating should I use for lighting?

A 6AX or 10A one-way switch is standard for lighting and fan circuits, since these draw relatively little current compared with socket circuits or heavy appliances.

What is a blank module for?

A blank module, like the Goldmedal Air 1M Blank Module, fills an unused position on a modular switch plate, keeping the board looking finished even where not every slot currently holds a switch or socket.
