Why Choose the IMO UB10C101.6A 1.6 A Type C Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The IMO UB10C101.6A is a compact single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, it offers dependable circuit protection for industrial control panels, automation equipment, OEM machinery and commercial electrical installations.
Featuring a Type C tripping characteristic, the UB10C101.6A is suitable for circuits that experience moderate temporary inrush currents during normal operation. Typical applications include control transformers, contactors, solenoids, switched-mode power supplies and small inductive loads. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism combines sustained overload protection with rapid short-circuit interruption.
With a rated current of 1.6 A, a high 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a space-saving single-pole configuration, the IMO UB10C101.6A is well suited to sensitive control and automation circuits. Its standard DIN rail mounting format enables straightforward installation within electrical distribution boards, machinery cabinets and industrial control panels.
