Manufacturer of electro-mechanical and electronic products for circuit protection, E-T-A Circuit Breakers, has launched a new range of miniaturised thermal circuit breakers.

Due to overcurrent, the E-T-A 1657, 1658 and 1659 single-pole circuit breakers are easily and quickly reset after tripping.

Between them they offer a choice of current rating and tripping characteristics, blade or  screw terminals, thread neck or snap-in mounting, and button or auto-reset. Water splash protection for the actuator button is offered as an accessory.

The circuit breakers are well suited for the protection of motors, transformers and cables in a range of industrial and consumer applications.  All circuit breakers in the family feature a trip-free, snapaction mechanism ensuring reliable and automatic disconnection in the event of an overcurrent, even with a blocked actuator button.

Each model has different dimensions and different characteristics, and between them they offer a full range of current and voltage ratings for the protection of AC and DC loads.  The new E-T-A 1657 is a singlepole, thread neck mounting RType TO CBE with EN 60934 and other international approvals. The type 1657 can be specified for applications in a choice of current ratings from 5A to 20A for use on 250V AC or 32V DC, with blade or screw terminals.

The E-T-A 1658 is a single-pole R-Type TO CBE with EN 60934 and other international approvals. The type 1658 can be specified with a thread neck and pushbutton actuation or a flush head with auto-reset functionality. It is available in a choice of current ratings from 5A to 30A for use on 240V AC or 28V DC with blade terminals.

The new E-T-A 1659 is a single-pole, thread neck mounting R-Type TO CBE with EN 60934 and other international approvals. The type 1659 can be specified for applications in a choice of current ratings from 5A to 30A for use on 250V AC or 32V DC, with blade or screw terminals. Typical protection applications across the range include industrial equipment, power tools, battery chargers, UPS, motors, medical equipment and power generators.
