Product details

The thermal-magnetic trip gives instantaneous magnetic protection on short-circuit and a thermal delay for overloads, so it handles motor inrush and feeder starts without nuisance tripping.

If it's 85 kA, you need the S or L performance level instead. The TM-D trip unit is a fixed thermal-magnetic curve — no interchangeable rating plugs, no electronic adjustment. That keeps the part simple and reliable for fixed-load feeders, but if you need adjustable long-time or short-time pickup, you'd step up to the ComPacT NSX with an Micrologic electronic trip. Everlink terminals accept 2.5 to 95 mm² rigid copper or 2.5 to 70 mm² flexible — covers standard feeder cable sizes up to 4/0 AWG. Front-connect top and bottom makes it panel-friendly for busbar or cable entry.

Mounts on a backplate in any orientation — horizontal, vertical, or flat on the back. The 108 mm width (12 module pitches at 9 mm) fits standard DIN-rail enclosures and panel cutouts. IP40 front face and IK07 impact rating mean it's protected against tool drops and finger probes in a closed panel. Flag indicator (green) shows auxiliary contact presence — useful for remote status without opening the door. Neutral on the left, 80 mm deep.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy C12H6TM160L and how do I get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to C12H6TM160L in this family?

Within the ComPacT NSXm range, the closest sibling is the 3-pole version (C12H3TM160L) — same 160 A rating and 70 kA performance, but three poles instead of four. If you need a higher interrupting capacity, the 'S' performance level (50 kA) or 'L' (100 kA) variants share the same footprint and trip unit.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for C12H6TM160L?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2. Schneider typically provides a Declaration of Conformity covering the Low Voltage Directive; specific RoHS/REACH declarations are available on request from the manufacturer.
