Product details

The interrupting rating sits at 6 kA at 277 VAC and 10 kA at 125 VDC, which covers most branch-circuit fault levels in a typical industrial control panel.

The C-curve (5–10x In magnetic trip) is the standard choice for moderate inrush loads — think small motors, contactor coils, or lighting banks — where the start surge is higher than a B-curve can tolerate but not as high as a D-curve would need. That's enough for most secondary panel distribution, but if your transformer impedance or utility fault current pushes past 6 kA, you'll need a current-limiting upstream device.

DIN rail integration

The 2-pole footprint takes up two module widths (about 36 mm). In a dense panel, that's compact enough to leave room for a contactor or relay alongside.

Frequently asked questions

What is the S202M-C16's interrupting rating?

6 kA at 277 VAC and 10 kA at 125 VDC. That covers typical branch-circuit fault levels in most industrial panels.

What does the C-curve mean for my application?

The C-curve trips magnetically at 5–10 times the rated current (80–160 A for this 16 A breaker). It's a good fit for moderate inrush loads like small motors, contactor coils, or lighting — not for high-inrush transformers (use D-curve) or purely resistive loads (B-curve works).

Will the S202M-C16 drop into a panel designed for a 3-pole breaker?

No — the S202M-C16 is a 2-pole unit. A 3-pole panel space (like the S203M-C50) would leave an unused pole or require a different breaker. Stick with the pole count your panel is wired for.

Where can I buy the S202M-C16 and get current pricing?

We source it to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — both are confirmed at quote time.
