2Z6UM 6A Circuit Breaker Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2Z6UM is a thermal magnetic circuit breaker manufactured by Altech Corporation, rated for 6A at 480V AC / 80V DC with lever actuation and DIN rail mounting. This component is classified as Active product status with full CSA and UL508 approval. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits selection from equivalent models within the V-EA series that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

All substitute parts for the 2Z6UM maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters as the main part. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Current Rating: 6A (all substitutes match)
• Voltage Rating: 480V AC / 80V DC (all substitutes match)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic (all substitutes match)
• Number of Poles: 2 (all substitutes match)
• Actuator Type: Lever (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (all substitutes match)
• Series: V-EA (all substitutes match)
• Product Status: Active (all substitutes are active)

The substitute parts differ only in their character designation prefix (C, D, E, G) within the base product number, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry appropriate regulatory approvals.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five parts (2Z6UM, 2C6UM, 2D6UM, 2E6UM, 2G6UM) are functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 6A thermal magnetic circuit breaker with 480V AC / 80V DC rating and DIN rail mounting. Selection among these parts may be based on:

• Inventory availability: 2C6UM offers highest stock (1067 pcs), followed by 2E6UM (1045 pcs)
• Regulatory scope: 2C6UM and 2D6UM carry additional VDE approval beyond CSA and UL508
• All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status

No electrical or mechanical performance differences exist between these parts when applied within their specified ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2C6UM, 2D6UM, 2E6UM, or 2G6UM be used as direct replacements for 2Z6UM?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry identical electrical ratings (6A, 480V AC / 80V DC), mechanical specifications (2-pole, lever actuated, DIN rail mounted), and thermal magnetic protection characteristics. Direct substitution is permissible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the character designations (Z, C, D, E, G) in the part numbers?

A: The character designation represents different product variants within the V-EA series. These designations do not affect electrical performance, voltage ratings, current capacity, or mechanical compatibility. All variants are interchangeable for the specified application parameters.

Q: Are there any approval or compliance differences between these parts?

A: 2C6UM and 2D6UM include VDE approval in addition to CSA and UL508 certification. 2Z6UM, 2E6UM, and 2G6UM carry CSA and UL508 approval. All parts are ROHS3 compliant. Selection should account for regional regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if the primary part is unavailable?

A: Selection priority may be based on inventory availability and regulatory requirements. 2C6UM provides highest stock levels (1067 pcs) with extended approval scope (VDE included). 2E6UM offers strong availability (1045 pcs) with standard CSA/UL508 certification.

Q: Is packaging identical across all substitute parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Bulk packaging format. No packaging differences affect installation or circuit integration.
