Robust Circuit Breaker, T12-MSM, with Design Appeal from Schurter

Robust Circuit Breaker | In Compliance Magazine

SCHURTER announces the T12-MSM, a unique combination of a reliable circuit breaker and a robust metal switch. With its extraordinary actuating appeal, the T12-MSM, unlike a typical switch, can be stylishly displayed on the front of the system as opposed to being hidden in the back.

SCHURTER combines its circuit breakers, with thermal operation (T12) and thermal-magnetic operation (TM12), with its MSM series metal switches. The T12-MSM creates a market innovation that merges overcurrent protection with an attractive pushbutton design.

EMC & eMobility

For a company embarking on EMC testing for either component or vehicle-level testing of their EV products, it is necessary first to have a good understanding of the EMC regulatory situation.

The MSM switches are recognized for their visual appeal and operating characteristics. Both the switch housing and the actuator are fabricated from high-quality stainless steel, and are available with mounting diameters of 19 and 22 mm. The actuator and circuit breaker are supplied separate. The switch mounts with a threaded neck. A coupler adjoins the circuit breaker to the switch. Switching voltage is 240 VAC/ 28 VDC with a rated current from 50mA to 16 A (15 A UL). It is suited for use in a temperature range of -5 °C to +60 °C and comes equipped with auxiliary contact or shunt terminal as well as quick-connect or screw-clamp terminals. The T12-MSM offers a variety of design options including an assortment of colors for ring or point illumination, as well as options for standard or custom inscription.

The T12 and TM12 are reliable circuit breakers with positive trip-free operation. The contacts open even if the reset button is manually held in the closed position. They reliably protect equipment with rated currents from 50 mA to 16 A. The optional magnetic release protects against increased risk of short circuits.
