2E13UM 13A Circuit Breaker Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2E13UM is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker manufactured by Altech Corporation, rated for 13A at 480V AC and 80V DC. This DIN rail-mounted breaker is designed for industrial and commercial electrical distribution applications. The product is active and in stock, making it suitable for immediate deployment in control systems and power distribution panels. Equivalent substitute parts are available from the same manufacturer series to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 2E13UM circuit breaker has two parametric equivalents within the Altech Corporation V-EA series: 2C13UM and 2G13UM. These parts are classified as substitutes based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Current Rating: 13A (identical across all parts)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 480V (identical across all parts)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 80V (identical across all parts)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (identical across all parts)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (identical across all parts)
• Actuator Type: Lever (identical across all parts)
• Number of Poles: 2 (identical across all parts)
• Series: V-EA (identical across all parts)
• Packaging: Bulk (identical across all parts)

The primary distinction between these parts lies in their base product designations (2E13, 2C13, 2G13), which reflect different product variants within the same electrical and mechanical specification class. All three parts maintain identical functional performance and are approved by CSA and UL508.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three circuit breaker models—2E13UM, 2C13UM, and 2G13UM—are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Compliance Requirements: The 2C13UM includes VDE approval in addition to CSA and UL508 certifications. If VDE compliance is required for your application, 2C13UM is the appropriate selection. For applications requiring only CSA and UL508 compliance, 2E13UM and 2G13UM are suitable alternatives.

Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are 1178 pcs (2E13UM), 654 pcs (2C13UM), and 732 pcs (2G13UM). Selection may be influenced by procurement lead times and supply chain requirements.

RoHS and Environmental Compliance: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2C13UM, 2E13UM, and 2G13UM be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Yes. These parts are parametric equivalents with identical current ratings (13A), voltage ratings (480V AC / 80V DC), breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting configuration (DIN rail), and pole count (2). They perform identical electrical functions and are mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between 2E13UM, 2C13UM, and 2G13UM?

A: The primary difference is the base product designation (2E13, 2C13, 2G13). Electrically and mechanically, these parts are equivalent. The 2C13UM includes additional VDE certification beyond the CSA and UL508 approvals common to all three models.

Q: Which part should I select if VDE certification is required?

A: Select 2C13UM, which carries CSA, UL508, and VDE approvals. The 2E13UM and 2G13UM are certified only by CSA and UL508.

Q: Are all three parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. All three models are supplied in bulk packaging and are currently in stock.

Q: Do these circuit breakers meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. All three models are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance.

Q: Can I substitute 2G13UM for 2E13UM in an existing installation?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications, mechanical mounting, and functional performance. No circuit modifications are required.
