Altech Corporation 2C05UM Circuit Breaker - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2C05UM is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker manufactured by Altech Corporation, part of the V-EA series. This DIN rail-mounted breaker is designed for 480 V AC and 80 V DC applications with a 500mA current rating and lever-operated actuation. The product is active and in stock with 981 units available. Substitute parts are necessary when primary inventory is depleted, when alternative channel configurations are required for system design flexibility, or when sourcing from multiple suppliers is needed for supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2C05UM is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: breaker type (thermal magnetic), current rating (500mA), voltage ratings (480 V AC and 80 V DC), mounting type (DIN rail), actuator type (lever), number of poles (2), and manufacturer (Altech Corporation, V-EA series). All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the same application context. Packaging is bulk for all parts in this group.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—2C05UM, 2D05UM, and 2E05UM—are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The 2E05UM offers the highest current inventory level at 1145 units. All parts carry CSA and UL508 certifications; the 2C05UM and 2D05UM additionally carry VDE approval. All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2D05UM and 2E05UM be used interchangeably with 2C05UM? A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (500mA, 480 V AC, 80 V DC), breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting configuration (DIN rail), and mechanical actuation (lever). They are parametric equivalents within the V-EA series.

Q: Are there differences in approval certifications between these parts? A: The 2C05UM and 2D05UM carry CSA, UL508, and VDE certifications. The 2E05UM carries CSA and UL508 certifications. Verify that the required certification set matches your application requirements before selection.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these circuit breakers? A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in current rating, voltage ratings (both AC and DC), breaker type, mounting type, actuator type, number of poles, and series designation. All listed parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are all parts available in bulk packaging? A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory levels of 981 units (2C05UM), 676 units (2D05UM), and 1145 units (2E05UM).

Q: Do these parts have the same regulatory compliance status? A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both the 2C05UM and 2D05UM include VDE approval; the 2E05UM does not. Confirm VDE requirement for your application before substitution.
