SCHURTER 4430.3462 Circuit Breaker Thermal 2.5A 240VAC 60VDC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4430.3462 is a thermal circuit breaker rated for 2.5A at 240V AC and 60V DC, featuring a rocker actuator for panel mount applications. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number is unavailable, when managing inventory across multiple suppliers, or when design revisions require alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer's product line.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4430.3462 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: thermal breaker type, 2.5A current rating, 240V AC voltage rating, 60V DC voltage rating, panel mount configuration, rocker actuator, and 2-pole design. All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting characteristics. Series designation differences (TA45 versus TA35) do not affect functional interchangeability within this product category, as the core electrical and mechanical parameters remain constant across the substitute group.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers—4430.3462, 4430.1638, and 4435.0215—are functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 2.5A thermal circuit breaker at 240V AC and 60V DC with panel mount rocker actuation. Selection among these alternatives should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. All parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations, ensuring regulatory compatibility across design lifecycles. The ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.20.0020 are consistent across all substitutes, supporting uniform procurement and logistics handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4430.1638 and 4435.0215 be used interchangeably with 4430.3462? A: Yes. All three part numbers share identical electrical ratings (2.5A, 240V AC, 60V DC), breaker type (thermal), mounting configuration (panel mount), and actuator design (rocker, 2-pole). Series designation differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute for the 4430.3462? A: Valid substitutes must maintain the same current rating (2.5A), AC voltage rating (240V), DC voltage rating (60V), breaker type (thermal), mounting type (panel mount), actuator type (rocker), and pole count (2). All identified substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these part numbers? A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.20.0020. Regulatory status is identical across the substitute group.

Q: Does the series designation (TA45 versus TA35) affect substitution eligibility? A: No. Series designation does not impact electrical or mechanical interchangeability. The 4435.0215 (TA35 series) is functionally equivalent to the TA45 series parts (4430.3462 and 4430.1638) for this application.

Q: What packaging is available for these circuit breakers? A: All three part numbers are supplied in Bulk packaging format.
