Product details

At 35 °C it is rated 16 A; the rating derates to 15.2 A at 40 °C, 14.78 A at 45 °C, 14.37 A at 50 °C, and 13.92 A at 55 °C — so if the panel ambient runs warm, the effective continuous current is lower than the 16 A label. Mounting is via the quick-assembly system (DIN rail), in any position.

Integration and compliance notes

The 76 mm depth (from mounting surface to front) and 90 mm height fit standard 2-pole MCB cutouts. The sealable design allows lockout/tagout without removing the breaker. Touch protection is built in, reducing arc-flash risk during routine panel work. Vibration resistance per IEC 60068-2-6: ±1 mm at 5–25 Hz and 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz — sufficient for machine-mounted panels on pumps or compressors. The neutral conductor is not switched (2-pole design switches both lines, no separate neutral pole).
