2C50UM 50A Circuit Breaker Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2C50UM is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker manufactured by Altech Corporation, rated for 50A at 480V AC and 60V DC. This DIN rail-mounted breaker is part of the V-EA series and holds active product status with CSA and UL508 approvals. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory certifications to ensure direct interchangeability in applications requiring 50A thermal magnetic protection.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2C50UM are identified as parametric equivalents within the Altech Corporation V-EA series. Substitution is valid when all critical electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly: 50A current rating, 480V AC and 60V DC voltage ratings, thermal magnetic operation, 2-pole lever-actuated configuration, and DIN rail mounting. All substitute parts maintain identical regulatory certifications (CSA, UL508) and RoHS3 compliance status. The substitutes differ only in their base product designation (2D50 and 2G50 versus 2C50), which reflects internal Altech product line variations that do not affect functional performance or compatibility in the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—2C50UM, 2D50UM, and 2G50UM—are functionally equivalent for 50A thermal magnetic circuit protection applications. Selection among these parts should be based on availability and inventory status. The 2G50UM currently has the highest inventory level at 1054 pieces, followed by 2C50UM at 987 pieces and 2D50UM at 710 pieces. All parts maintain active product status and identical regulatory certifications (CSA, UL508), ensuring compliance with applicable standards. RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are consistent across all three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2D50UM and 2G50UM be used interchangeably with 2C50UM? A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical ratings (50A, 480V AC, 60V DC), mechanical configuration (2-pole, lever-actuated, DIN rail mount), and regulatory approvals (CSA, UL508). They are direct substitutes within the V-EA series.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the 2C50UM? A: Substitution requires matching current rating (50A), AC voltage (480V), DC voltage (60V), breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting method (DIN rail), actuator type (lever), pole count (2), and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL508).

Q: Are there any differences in performance between 2C50UM, 2D50UM, and 2G50UM? A: No performance differences exist. The base product number variation (2C, 2D, 2G) reflects internal Altech product line designations and does not affect functional operation or compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same compliance status? A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and approved by CSA and UL508. Compliance status is identical across all options.

Q: What should guide the selection between available substitutes? A: Selection should be based on inventory availability and delivery requirements. All parts are functionally equivalent and suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring 50A thermal magnetic circuit protection at 480V AC and 60V DC.
