That K curve means it holds through short-duration inrush up to 8–12× rated current — typical for inductive loads like contactor coils, solenoid valves, or small motor starters — before tripping magnetically. On the AC side it interrupts faults up to 6 kA at 277 V; on the DC side, 10 kA at 250 V, which covers most control-circuit and auxiliary-supply fault scenarios in a panel. The DIN-rail footprint (standard 1-module width) drops into any S200-series distribution board or enclosure rail without adapters.
The 1-pole body occupies one 17.5 mm module — no extra space for neutral switching. Rated for 277 VAC line-to-neutral or 250 VDC control circuits; the 6 kA / 10 kA interrupting capacity provides adequate SCCR headroom for most industrial control panels without cascading upstream breakers. Trip Curve K avoids nuisance tripping on transformer inrush or capacitive loads that a Z-curve might catch, but still clears fast on hard shorts.
