Low-cost MCB for automotive and watercraft use
E-T-A Circuit Breakers has introduced a new low cost miniaturised circuit breaker, E-T-A 1626, which has been designed as a direct replacement for blade-type fuses, having the ability to distinguish between temporary surges and genuine overloads.
As well as protecting electrical circuits in cars, trucks and buses, it can also be used in watercraft and other 12/24V DC wiring applications, such as heavy-duty and off-road vehicles.
The new blade-type E-T-A 1626 Mini-CBE is available in three versions – with automatic reset, with a reset button, or with both a manual release and a reset button. The colour coded E-T-A 1626s are available in all the standard current ratings offered by blade fuses from 5A up to 30A. Depending on the version, when the 1626 has tripped it resets automatically when the load is removed or the re-set button pops up showing clearly which circuit has a fault.
Overall dimensions of the body of the overcurrent circuit breaker are 25mm in height above the blade x 13.3mm wide x 7mm thick. The operating temperature range is -40° C to +85° C.
