Product details

Breaking capacity is 10 kA per IEC 60898-1 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, with an additional 15 kA at DC per IEC 60947-2. For UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No.235 installations, the interrupting rating is 5 kA. That spread covers most industrial distribution panels; the 15 kA IEC figure gives headroom for higher-fault locations without cascading upstream. Rated operational voltage is 230 V AC (single-phase, 250 V max) and 60 V DC (72 V max). The neutral conductor is switched (1P+N), which is standard for final subcircuits where both line and neutral need isolation.

Designed and certified to IEC / EN 60898-1 and IEC / EN 60947-2, plus UL 1077 for North American acceptance. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction, important for sensitive environments (semiconductor fabs, medical device assembly) where outgassing can contaminate optics or contacts. Ambient temperature range is -40 °C to +75 °C, with humidity limits of 95% at 55 °C, derating to 35% at 75 °C. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5 to 25 Hz, 50 m/s² at 25 to 150 Hz — adequate for machine-mounted panels near rotating equipment.

Physical integration and wiring

Dimensions: 76 mm depth, 36 mm width (2 MW), 90 mm height. Installation depth is 70 mm. Combined terminal at top and bottom.
