Use this miniature circuit breaker from Siemens for reliable protection from overloads and short circuits. It's designed for single-phase networks and cuts off power to the system when the current supply goes above safe levels, preventing damage to your circuit and equipment. The unit has type C tripping characteristics, which means it's triggered when the supply current is five to 10 times the full load current. This is useful for small items of equipment that are sensitive to slight current changes. With a 6kA breaking capacity, this breaker can handle high current surges without suffering damage. You'll find a device like this one commonly used in industrial lighting systems.

• DIN rail mounting is simple and doesn't need tools
• Low weight of 153g for easy handling and minimal system strain
• Compact dimensions of 17.5 (width) x 89.8 (length) x 76mm (depth) for tight packing in busy setups

This circuit breaker has an IP20 (ingress protection) rating. This means it's protected against human touch and objects larger than 12mm in size.
