SCHURTER Inc. introduces its new reliable circuit breaker, the T12-MSM. The T12-MSM is unique because it includes a robust metal switch and also acts as a circuit breaker. Also, the switch can be placed on the front of the device unlike most devices which house switches in the back.
“SCHURTER combines its circuit breakers, with thermal operation (T12) and thermal-magnetic operation (TM12), with its MSM series metal switches. The T12-MSM creates a market innovation that merges overcurrent protection with an attractive pushbutton design,” according to the company.
The T12-MSM is made of stainless steel and is offered in many colors and designs. Other features of this circuit breaker include a 19 to 22 mm mounting diameter, switch mounts with a threaded neck, a shunt terminal, quick-connect terminals, a switching voltage of 240 VAC/ 28 VDC, a rated current from 50 mA to 16 A, and ability to function in temperatures ranging from -5 to over 60 degrees Celsuis. The T12-MSM can be used in harsh environments because of its IP 64 tightness protection and IK 07 impact resistance.
