E-T-A 106-M2-P30-2A Circuit Breaker Thermal Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-T-A 106-M2-P30-2A is a thermal circuit breaker rated for 2A at 240V AC and 48V DC, designed for panel mount applications with push-to-reset actuation. This single-pole breaker is actively manufactured and holds Active product status. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific mounting preferences, or series-level design variations while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 106-M2-P30-2A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 2A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 240V (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 48V (exact match required)
• Breaker Type: Thermal (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (exact match required)
• Actuator Type: Push to Reset (exact match required)
• Number of Poles: 1 (exact match required)
• Approval Agencies: CE, CSA C22.2 No 235, GB 17701, IEC 60934, UL1077 (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The identified substitute parts meet all these criteria. Series designation (106 vs. 104) and connector type variations (P30 vs. P10) represent design alternatives within the same functional class and do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—106-M2-P30-2A, 106-M2-P10-2A, and 104-P10-2A—are Active products manufactured by E-T-A and carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and regulatory certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Connector type compatibility with your panel interface (P30 vs. P10 designation)
• Series preference (106 vs. 104) if specified in your design documentation
• Current inventory availability and lead time requirements

All parts satisfy CE, CSA C22.2 No 235, GB 17701, IEC 60934, and UL1077 compliance requirements and are ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 106-M2-P10-2A for 106-M2-P30-2A in my application?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical rating (2A, 240V AC, 48V DC), breaker type (thermal), mounting configuration (panel mount), and regulatory certifications. The difference is the connector type designation (P30 vs. P10). Verify your panel interface compatibility before selection.

Q: What is the difference between Series 106 and Series 104?

A: Series designation indicates design generation within the E-T-A product line. Both 106-M2-P10-2A and 104-P10-2A meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 2A thermal breaker application. Selection depends on your design documentation requirements and connector compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—106-M2-P30-2A, 106-M2-P10-2A, and 104-P10-2A—are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory certifications.

Q: Which part should I choose if inventory is a concern?

A: 106-M2-P10-2A has the highest current inventory at 1427 pieces. 106-M2-P30-2A has 1074 pieces, and 104-P10-2A has 1033 pieces. All are in stock as new original units.

Q: Do these parts have different approval certifications?

A: No. All three parts carry identical approvals: CE, CSA C22.2 No 235, GB 17701, IEC 60934, and UL1077.
