Product details

It is rated 16 A continuous and carries a TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit. Four poles handle three-phase plus neutral switching. Breaking capacity reaches 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, and 52.5 kA at 440 V — high enough for most industrial mains-fault scenarios without cascading upstream.

The 16 A rating holds steady from 40 °C up to 55 °C ambient; at 60 °C it derates to 15 A, and stays at 15 A through 70 °C. Dimensions are 101.6 mm wide, 130 mm high, 70 mm deep — a 4-inch-wide footprint that fits standard MCCB panel cutouts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1196-4GD42-0AA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — no stock figures or price lists are published here.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1196-4GD42-0AA0 at 240 V?

121 kA at 240 V AC. At 415 V it is 75.6 kA, at 440 V it is 52.5 kA, and at 690 V it is 11.9 kA.

Will 3VA1196-4GD42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 5SQ2670-2YA63?

Both are 4-pole MCCBs in the same physical class, but the 5SQ2670-2YA63 is a different manufacturer's model with its own mounting and connection pattern. Verify the cutout dimensions and bus-bar spacing against the 101.6 mm width before swapping — no direct drop-in guarantee.
