DN70317 — Door Bell Switch for Residential and Commercial Door Entry Systems
The DN70317 belongs to the family of switches DN70, being defined as a momentary action of the retractive type. These items are specially produced to work as door bells and entrances. Thus, they can be used in homes, hotels, apartment blocks or any commercial property in the countries using British standards. It is known that the mechanism of retraction allows the switch to go back to the off mode after pressing. The capacity of the switch is equal to a capacity of 10A/16A, which is enough to match many chimes, entry systems, and auxiliary circuits.

Our technical team is able to customize any of the parts internally. Please contact for wholesale price offer.
Retractive Momentary Switch — The Correct Action for Signaling
A defining feature of a doorbell switch is its retractable (spring return) mechanism. In contrast to typical latching switches that remain in their ON position after they are pressed, the DN70317 returns automatically to the OFF position once it is released. This is the proper way for door bells, chimes, buzzers, and other signaling devices to work, as the circuit is operated for only a brief period of time. The use of red copper and silver alloys in construction of the contact part (Φ3.0×25mm) will provide safe operation of the device even with the rare usage of a doorbell switch.
Durable Construction — Engineered for Long‑Term Reliability
The DN70317 has been designed for the long-lasting use in both home and business settings. The switch mechanism features high-purity red copper with a Φ3.0×25mm silver alloy contact point that delivers reliability and durability through its many usage cycles. The rated electrical life of the DN70317 switch is more than 10,000 working cycles which makes it perfect for daily used buildings. The high performance of the DN70317 switch makes it appropriate both for private homes and other installations.

Why Choose a Retractive Door Bell Switch for Your British Standard Project?
A practical guide for importers, distributors, and contractors specifying door entry solutions in residential and commercial buildings.
Retractive Momentary Action — The Essential Doorbell Mechanism
Door bells and chimes necessitate a momentary contacting switch to finalize the circuit only once the button is being pressed. DN70317’s retracting feature helps revert to its original state after being released – therefore supplying proper working principles for door entrance systems, communication systems for apartment buildings and signaling systems. Compared to conventional switches that keep the circuit on, this type of door bell switch ensures that the sound of chime occurs only when the button is pressed.
10A / 16A Rating — Capacity for Multiple Chimes and Auxiliary Loads
One individual doorbell might consume only a little energy, but many of the new types of doorbell systems currently available on the market are equipped with multiple chimes, transformers, and control circuits. With its capability of working with loads of 10A/16A, the device can be used in various applications such as apartment buildings with numerous door chimes, hotels with door entry systems, and places of business equipped with integrated access control systems.
DN70 Series Aesthetic — A Doorbell Switch That Doesn’t Look Out of Place
Door bell switches are usually mounted on an open place, for instance, at doorways, near entrance doors, and in corridors. And the DN70317 follows the design pattern of the other DN70 models and has the same dimensions (88x86mm) and quality materials. The offered finishes include PC, tempered glass, and brushed-aluminum variants in white, gold, gray, and black colors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a retractive switch and a normal light switch?
A retractive (momentary) switch, like the DN70317 doorbell switch, springs back to the off position when released — it only completes the circuit while being pressed. This is the correct action for doorbells, chimes, and signaling applications. A normal light switch latches in the on or off position and stays there until manually changed.
What current rating does this doorbell switch have?
The DN70317 is rated at 10A and 16A at 250V~, providing ample capacity for multiple chime units, door entry systems, transformers, and auxiliary signaling circuits. This rating ensures reliable operation even in complex installations with multiple chimes or integrated access control systems.
Can I use this switch for other applications besides doorbells?
Yes. While primarily designed as a doorbell switch, the DN70317’s retractive momentary action and 16A rating make it suitable for other signaling and control applications — including buzzers, alarm test buttons, auxiliary control circuits, and any application requiring momentary contact.
Can I order the DN70317 with my own logo on the panel?
Yes. We offer full OEM branding services — laser engraving or silk‑printing your logo on any of the three panel materials (PC, glass, or aluminum). We also provide custom packaging with your branding. MOQ applies; please contact our sales team for details.
What colors are available for the DN70317?
This doorbell switch is available in four standard colors: White, Gold, Gray, and Black. All color options are available across all three panel materials (PC, tempered glass, brushed aluminum), ensuring design consistency throughout your project.
