Disjuntor EATON PXL-B16/1 16A 1 polo característica B 6kA

Miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a rated current of 16 A and B tripping characteristic, engineered for reliable protection of electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit. Its 6 kA breaking capacity and energy limiting class 3 ensure safe interruption of fault currents in residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

This 1-pole MCB provides precise protection for lighting and socket circuits with moderate inrush currents. The B characteristic responds quickly to short circuits, while the screw terminals accept conductors up to 25 mm² for secure, low-maintenance connections. DIN rail mounting and a compact 17.5 mm width allow high-density installation in distribution boards.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in residential and commercial buildings
• Socket outlet circuits with resistive loads
• Control circuits requiring 16 A protection
• Distribution boards with limited space due to 1-module width
