2C15UM 15A Circuit Breaker Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2C15UM is an active thermal magnetic circuit breaker manufactured by Altech Corporation, rated for 15A at 480V AC and 80V DC. This DIN rail-mounted device features a lever actuator and dual-pole configuration, certified by CSA and UL508. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number is unavailable from inventory or when application requirements allow for alternative thermal magnetic characteristics within the V-EA series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters as the main part number 2C15UM. Substitution is based on the following criteria:

Current Rating: 15A (all parts)
Voltage Rating: 480V AC / 80V DC (all parts)
Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (all parts)
Mounting Configuration: DIN Rail with Lever Actuator, 2-Pole (all parts)
Certifications: CSA and UL508 (all parts)
Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (all parts)
Series: V-EA (all parts)

The substitute parts differ only in their base product designation (2B15, 2D15, 2E15, 2G15 versus 2C15), which represents different thermal magnetic trip characteristics within the same series. These variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications where the specific trip curve is not a critical design constraint.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are active products with identical electrical ratings, mechanical configurations, and regulatory certifications. Selection among 2C15UM, 2B15UM, 2D15UM, 2E15UM, and 2G15UM is determined by application-specific thermal magnetic trip curve requirements and inventory availability. Each part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. All parts are packaged in bulk and carry CSA and UL508 certifications, meeting industrial control panel standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2B15UM, 2D15UM, 2E15UM, and 2G15UM be used interchangeably with 2C15UM?

A: Yes, within the constraints of thermal magnetic trip curve specifications. All parts share identical current ratings (15A), voltage ratings (480V AC / 80V DC), mounting type (DIN Rail), pole configuration (2-pole), actuator type (lever), and certifications (CSA, UL508). The letter designation (B, C, D, E, G) indicates different thermal magnetic characteristics within the V-EA series.

Q: What is the difference between the part number variants?

A: The base product numbers (2B15, 2C15, 2D15, 2E15, 2G15) represent different thermal magnetic trip curves. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant across the series.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What certifications apply to these circuit breakers?

A: All parts carry CSA and UL508 certifications, suitable for industrial control applications.

Q: Is packaging identical across all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging as specified by Altech Corporation.
