The E-T-A 12-A10-20 is a dedicated mounting socket accessory for the 1170 Series of thermal automotive circuit breakers. This socket facilitates a plug-in mounting style, simplifying the integration of the circuit breaker into vehicle and marine craft electrical systems.
Designed to work with the 1170 Series, this socket ensures proper connection and support for the circuit breaker. The 1170 Series itself is a compact, single-pole thermal circuit breaker with a push-to-reset mechanism, featuring a snap-action mechanism and manual release. These breakers are suitable for extra-low voltage wiring systems on all types of vehicles and marine craft, operating at DC voltages of 12V, 24V, or 48V, with a maximum voltage rating of 58VDC.
The socket's plug-in design is compatible with blade terminals, commonly found in automotive fuse blocks. This accessory is crucial for applications requiring reliable circuit protection in automotive and marine environments, ensuring the circuit breaker is securely and correctly installed.
The socket supports nominal voltages of 12 VDC, 24 VDC, and 48 VDC, with a maximum voltage of 58 VDC.
The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
The socket accommodates current ratings from 3 A to 25 A.
At 24 VDC the interrupting capacity is 400 A. At 48 VDC it varies: >75 A for 3-10 A, >100 A for 15 A, >135 A for 20 A, and >200 A for 25 A.
The operating area is rated IP40, and the terminal area is IP00.
At 24 VDC and rated current, the typical life is 6,000 operations.
The socket uses plug-in mounting with blade terminals.
