The latest addition to Bulgin's Polysnap range of mains inlet modules incorporates a miniature circuit breaker. Polysnap modules have previously used conventional fused inlets but this circuit breaker version now provides an alternative where resettable circuit protection is required. Two styles are available: one with IEC60320 C14 or C16 (hot condition) inlets and one with a C20 inlet.

The C14/C16 versions snap-fit into a rectangular panel cutout measuring 34 x 40mm.

Stepped fixings suit 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0mm thick panels.

The circuit breakers are available with 5.0, 8.0, 10.0 or 15.0A trip currents and have a typical trip speed of 0.3-1.8s with a 600% overload at 25C.

The higher current C20 version fits a 34 x 56mm panel cutout and the circuit breaker can be specified with 5.0, 8.0, 10.0, 15.0, 16.0 or 20.0A trip currents.

Rocker options included red and green illumination with 125 or 250V neons and nonilluminated types both with reset and off legends.

The circuit breaker and mains inlet carry UL and CSA approvals.

These new additions further extend the Polysnap range offering a very adaptable and flexible solution to panel design.

With over 26,000 combinations, the compact design of Bulgin's Polysnap occupies just the minimum of panel area with a single rectangular mounting hole offering easy installation.
