Product details

It's the right curve when a standard B-curve would nuisance-trip on startup but a Z-curve would be too slow for short-circuit protection. Rated 480 VAC / 500 VDC, this breaker covers both AC distribution panels and DC control circuits — common in industrial panels where a single-pole device protects a 24 VDC solenoid bank or a 48 VDC signal loop. The 500 VDC rating is notable: most single-pole MCBs top out at 250 VDC, so this one handles series-string solar or battery-bank circuits without needing two poles in series. Single-pole width (roughly 17.5 mm) means it fits tight panel layouts where every millimeter of rail space is on the critical path.

If you're planning a turnaround and this breaker is on the BOM, it lands before the window — no broker chase required.

Integration into the panel

DIN-rail mount, single-pole width. Wire termination accepts up to 25 mm² conductor — enough for the 2 A load plus any daisy-chained feed-through. The comb-bus bar slot is standard for the S200 series, so grouping multiple poles on a shared incoming feed is a clip-in operation.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy S281UC-K2 and get a price?

The S281UC-K2 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm number.

What is the closest functional second-source to S281UC-K2?

The ABB S201MUC-K2 is the closest functional peer — same 2 A, Curve K, single-pole DIN-rail format. The key difference is voltage rating: S281UC-K2 handles 480 VAC / 500 VDC, while S201MUC-K2 is rated 277 VAC / 250 VDC. For a 400 VAC panel the S281UC-K2 is the correct fit; for 230 VAC control circuits the S201MUC-K2 is a drop-in alternative.

Will S281UC-K2 drop into a panel specified around S201MUC-K2 without rewiring?

Physically yes — same single-pole DIN-rail footprint, same terminal arrangement, same bus-bar slot. Electrically check the voltage: if the panel runs at 400 VAC or above 250 VDC, the S281UC-K2 is the correct upgrade. If the panel is 230 VAC / 24 VDC, the S201MUC-K2 remains the specified part.
