The 5 kA rating under UL 1077 is the North American supplementary-protector rating; for UL 489 branch-circuit listing you'd need a different part, but for OEM equipment panels this is the correct standard. The DC side matters if you're breaking battery or rectified supplies: 15 kA at 60 V DC per IEC 60947-2. That's a real advantage over many residential MCBs that have no DC rating at all. The 1-pole design means it switches only the line conductor — neutral is not switched, which is standard for single-phase AC branch circuits. The 10 000 mechanical operating cycles typical service life means it's built for the switching frequency you'd see in a machine tool or conveyor line, not a once-a-year disconnect.
At 18 mm wide (1 modular unit), it takes minimal rail space. Depth is 76 mm overall, with 70 mm installation depth — enough clearance for the terminals and wiring behind the panel door. Sealable (padlockable) handle for lockout/tagout compliance. Halogen-free and silicon-free construction avoids corrosive off-gassing in sealed enclosures near sensitive electronics.
