Why Choose the ABB S402M-C1.6 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S402M-C1.6 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in electrical distribution and control systems. Part of the ABB S400M range for the SMISSLINE TP plug-in system, it combines a precise 1.6 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 10 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity.
The S402M-C1.6 is a current-limiting circuit breaker using thermal protection against sustained overloads together with electromagnetic protection against short-circuit faults. Its Type C characteristic accommodates moderate switch-on currents, making it suitable for appropriately rated control, auxiliary and equipment circuits where reliable low-current protection is required.
Designed specifically for ABB's SMISSLINE plug-in distribution platform, the S402M-C1.6 provides straightforward integration into compatible assemblies. Its 2-pole configuration, 25 kA Icu rating to IEC/EN 60947-2, compact two-module format and IP20 protection make it a robust choice for industrial, commercial and machine-building applications.

Reliable Low-Current Circuit Protection
The ABB S402M-C1.6 protects appropriately rated circuits against excessive current caused by overloads and short circuits. Its thermal release responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic release provides rapid interruption when a short-circuit fault occurs.
With its 1.6 A rating and Type C characteristic, the S402M-C1.6 is particularly useful where lower-current circuits require dedicated protection while still accommodating moderate switch-on currents. Combined with ABB SMISSLINE TP plug-in technology, it supports efficient integration into modular electrical distribution and control assemblies.
Typical Applications
- ABB SMISSLINE TP electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- Low-current equipment protection.
- Automation and machine-control panels.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- Instrumentation and control-power circuits where a 1.6 A Type C MCB is appropriate.
