Schnap Electric Products, an Australian electrical wholesale supplier based in Kingsgrove, NSW, has expanded its Clipsal, HPM, and solar connector catalogue to meet growing demand from electricians and solar installers looking to consolidate sourcing across multiple brands. The expansion reflects a pattern the company has observed among trade buyers: electricians working across mixed-brand jobs — wiring switchboards with Clipsal or HPM components on one site, then sourcing MC4 connectors for a solar retrofit on another — increasingly prefer ordering from a single supplier rather than managing multiple accounts and freight costs.
The updated range covers Clipsal switch mechs, powerpoints, GPOs, and dimmers, HPM switches and power points, NHP and moulded case circuit breakers for commercial and industrial work, and MC4-compatible connectors for residential and commercial solar installations. It sits alongside Schnap’s existing stock of conduit fittings, TPS electrical cable, and stainless steel conduit — components typically needed on the same job.
All products are certified to Australian standards (AS/NZS), with same-day dispatch and tracking from purchase through to delivery. A 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy applies across the range, reducing risk for buyers ordering components before final site specifications are confirmed.
The expansion comes as rooftop solar and EV charger installations continue to grow across New South Wales and nationally, adding pressure on electricians to source compliant, correctly rated components without unnecessary supplier hopping. Schnap’s broader catalogue spans over 200 brands.
The expanded Clipsal, HPM, solar connector, and circuit protection range is available now at schnap.com.au, with orders processed for delivery Australia-wide.
Kingsgrove, NSW, Australia — Schnap Electric Products, an Australian electrical wholesale supplier based in Kingsgrove, New South Wales, has expanded its Clipsal, HPM, and solar connector catalogue in response to growing demand from electricians and solar installers looking to consolidate their component sourcing across multiple brands.
The company supplies licensed electricians, contractors, and solar installers across residential, commercial, and industrial projects nationwide. The expanded range now includes a broader selection of Clipsal and HPM switch mechanisms, circuit breakers, and power points, alongside MC4-compatible connectors and solar cable accessories — categories that Schnap says have seen a steady rise in enquiries over recent months.
A Shift Toward Consolidated Sourcing
The expansion reflects a pattern the company has observed among trade buyers. Electricians working across mixed-brand jobs — wiring a switchboard with Clipsal or HPM components on one site, then sourcing MC4 connectors for a rooftop solar retrofit on another — increasingly prefer ordering from a single supplier rather than managing separate accounts, freight charges, and delivery windows across multiple wholesalers.
This kind of fragmentation has long been a quiet inefficiency in the trade. Switchgear brands and solar hardware are typically stocked by different specialists, which means a contractor juggling both residential wiring and solar installation work often ends up placing two or three separate orders for a single job. Schnap’s expanded catalogue is aimed squarely at removing that friction, bringing established switch and circuit protection brands together with solar-specific components under one order.
What’s Included in the Expanded Range
The catalogue update covers Clipsal switch mechs, powerpoints, GPOs, and dimmers in standard trade finishes, alongside HPM switches and power points for like-for-like replacements on older jobs. Circuit protection has also been broadened to include NHP circuit breakers and moulded case circuit breakers for commercial and industrial switchboard work, sitting alongside the existing residential-grade Clipsal and HPM range. On the solar side, the update covers MC4-compatible connectors sized for both residential and commercial installations.
Schnap’s broader catalogue spans over 200 brands, giving trade buyers the flexibility to match existing job specifications rather than substitute components mid-project when a preferred brand isn’t in stock elsewhere.
Beyond Switches: Cable and Conduit for the Same Job
Switch and circuit protection components rarely stand alone on a job site. A typical switchboard upgrade or new circuit run also calls for conduit fittings, TPS electrical cable, and — depending on the site — stainless steel conduit where corrosion resistance or outdoor exposure is a factor. Schnap stocks these alongside its switchgear range, which the company says reflects how trade buyers actually shop: by job, not by product category.
The solar connector additions come at a time when rooftop solar and EV charger installations continue to grow across New South Wales and nationally, adding pressure on electricians to source compliant, correctly rated components quickly and without unnecessary supplier hopping.
Standards, Certification and Fulfilment
All products in the Schnap catalogue are certified to Australian standards (AS/NZS), a baseline that trade buyers rely on when specifying components for compliance-sensitive work such as switchboard upgrades or solar system installations. Orders are dispatched the same day, with tracking provided from the point of purchase through to delivery — a detail that matters for contractors working to tight site schedules where a delayed part can hold up an entire job.
The company also backs its range with a 30-day, no-questions-asked return policy, reducing the risk for buyers ordering components for jobs where exact specifications aren’t finalised until they’re on site.
Availability
The expanded Clipsal, HPM, solar connector, and circuit protection range is available now through Schnap’s online store at schnap.com.au, with orders processed for delivery across Australia. Trade buyers can browse the full catalogue online or contact the Schnap team directly for bulk or project-specific enquiries.
