Circuit Breaker Thermal 5A 240VAC 60VDC SCHURTER TA35 4435.0401

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4435.0401 is an active thermal circuit breaker designed for panel mount applications. This component provides overcurrent protection in AC and DC circuits with a 5-ampere current rating and dual voltage capability (240V AC / 60V DC). The rocker actuator with blue illumination at 240V nominal provides visual status indication and manual control. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, manage inventory across multiple procurement channels, and maintain operational flexibility in component selection for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for thermal circuit breakers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The SCHURTER 4435.0401 can be substituted with parts that maintain identical specifications in the following critical categories:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (5A), AC voltage rating (240V), DC voltage rating (60V), and breaker type (thermal) must be identical. These parameters define the protection characteristics and operational envelope of the component.

Mechanical Parameters: Mounting type (panel mount), actuator type (rocker), number of poles (2), and illumination specifications (blue, 240V nominal) must match exactly to ensure physical and functional compatibility within the assembly.

Compliance & Status: Product status must be active, and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH) must be maintained to meet procurement and operational requirements.

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and can be selected interchangeably based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 4435.0246 is a direct parametric equivalent to the 4435.0401. Both parts are active products from SCHURTER Inc. within the TA35 series and maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical configurations, and regulatory compliance status. Selection between these two part numbers can be based on availability, inventory levels, and procurement lead times. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The 888-piece inventory of the 4435.0246 versus 852 pieces of the 4435.0401 may influence procurement decisions based on project volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4435.0246 be used as a direct replacement for the 4435.0401?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical ratings (5A, 240V AC, 60V DC), mechanical configuration (2-pole rocker panel mount), and illumination specifications (blue, 240V nominal). They are interchangeable for applications requiring these specifications.

Q: What parameters must match for thermal circuit breaker substitution?

A: Current rating, AC voltage rating, DC voltage rating, breaker type, mounting type, actuator type, number of poles, and illumination specifications must all be identical. Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a part as a substitute.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 4435.0401 and 4435.0246 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging type does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it is a logistics consideration for procurement and inventory management.

Q: What is the significance of the blue illumination at 240V nominal?

A: The blue illumination provides visual status indication of breaker state and requires a 240V nominal supply. This specification must match exactly in substitute parts to ensure consistent visual feedback and proper operation of the illumination circuit.
