EATON MCB Type B 6A 1-Pole 6kA HN-B6/1

The EATON HN-B6/1 is a high-quality miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for reliable overcurrent protection in residential and commercial electrical installations. With a Type B tripping characteristic, it is ideal for protecting circuits with resistive or inductive loads where inrush currents are minimal. This 1-pole breaker offers a rated current of 6 A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA, ensuring safety and compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 standards.

Advantages

Compact 1-module design saves space on DIN rail; thermal-magnetic release provides both overload and short-circuit protection; energy limiting class 3 reduces stress on downstream equipment; screw terminals for secure and easy wiring.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits
• Socket outlets
• Small appliance protection
• Residential and light commercial distribution boards
