Why Choose the IMO US10C101.6A UL1077 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The IMO US10C101.6A is a compact and dependable UL1077 supplementary miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect industrial control circuits against overload and short circuit conditions. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, it is suitable for installation within machinery, automation equipment and electrical control panels where reliable supplementary protection is required.
This single-pole circuit breaker combines thermal-magnetic protection with a space-saving DIN rail mounted enclosure. Its C curve tripping characteristic accommodates the moderate inrush currents commonly produced by control transformers, contactors, solenoids and small inductive loads while maintaining effective protection during sustained overcurrent conditions.
With a rated current of 1.6 A and a 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity, the US10C101.6A is an effective solution for low-current industrial circuits. Its finger-safe terminals, clear operating mechanism and standard modular format help simplify panel assembly, maintenance and fault identification.

Reliable Protection for Low-Current Control Circuits
The IMO US10C101.6A automatically disconnects a protected circuit when excessive current is detected. Its thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while its magnetic mechanism provides rapid operation during high-current short circuits.
The breaker’s C curve response is suitable for industrial control equipment that may draw a temporary starting current during normal operation. Its modular construction enables straightforward integration into new or existing control panels without occupying unnecessary rail space.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- PLC input and output circuits.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- Contactors, relays and solenoid circuits.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Process automation and instrumentation systems.
