Eaton FAZ-S6/2 Miniature Circuit Breaker Type S 6A 2-Pole 6kA 278809

The Eaton FAZ-S6/2 stands out with its S-characteristic tripping curve, tailored for protecting semiconductor circuits and control transformers where inrush currents demand precise, delayed response. This 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) delivers reliable 6 A protection in a compact 2 TE (35 mm) DIN rail module, making it a dependable choice for industrial and commercial distribution boards.

Highlights

• S-characteristic for semiconductor and control circuit protection
• 2-pole design with 6 A rated current
• 6 kA breaking capacity at 230/400 V AC
• Compact 2 TE (35 mm) width saves panel space
• Screw terminals accept 1-25 mm² conductors

In daily use

Installation is straightforward on standard DIN rails, and the IP40 front protection (IP20 at terminals) suits typical distribution environments. The breaker operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -25 to +75 °C, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions. Its energy limiting class 3 helps minimize let-through energy during faults, protecting downstream equipment.
