2Z50UM 50A Circuit Breaker Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The 2Z50UM 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 ratings, mechanical specifications, and regulatory compliance to ensure direct interchangeability in applications requiring 50A thermal magnetic protection.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts for the 2Z50UM are identified as parametric equivalents within the Altech Corporation V-EA series. Substitution is valid when all critical electrical parameters match: 50A current rating, 480V AC voltage rating, 60V DC voltage rating, thermal magnetic protection type, 2-pole configuration, lever actuator, and DIN rail mounting. All identified substitutes maintain identical regulatory compliance (CSA, UL508 certifications) and RoHS3 compliance status. The substitutes differ only in their base product designation (2D50 and 2G50 versus 2Z50), which reflects internal product line variations within the same electrical and mechanical specification class.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
All three parts—2Z50UM, 2D50UM, and 2G50UM—are direct parametric equivalents suitable for interchangeable use in 50A, 480V AC / 60V DC thermal magnetic protection applications. Selection among these parts may be based on inventory availability: 2Z50UM (642 units), 2D50UM (710 units), or 2G50UM (1054 units). All parts maintain active product status and identical regulatory compliance certifications (CSA, UL508), ensuring equivalent performance and safety in DIN rail-mounted circuit protection installations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can 2D50UM or 2G50UM be used as direct replacements for 2Z50UM? A: Yes. All three parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (50A, 480V AC, 60V DC), breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting configuration (DIN rail, 2-pole, lever actuator), and regulatory approvals (CSA, UL508).
Q: What determines substitutability between these circuit breaker models? A: Substitutability is determined by matching current rating, AC/DC voltage ratings, breaker type, pole count, actuator type, mounting method, and regulatory compliance. All three parts meet these criteria identically.
Q: Are there any differences in performance or specifications between 2Z50UM, 2D50UM, and 2G50UM? A: No performance or specification differences exist. The parts differ only in base product designation within the V-EA series but maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Q: Do all substitute parts carry the same certifications? A: Yes. All three parts hold CSA and UL508 approvals and are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications.
Q: Is packaging identical across all substitute parts? A: Yes. All parts are supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with standard distribution for DIN rail circuit breakers.
