Why Choose the ABB S201M-B16UC Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201M-B16UC, order code 2CDS271061R0165, is a high-performance single-pole 16 A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200 M UC range. Designed for both AC and DC applications, it provides reliable protection of electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in industrial, DC and traction-related installations.
Featuring a Type B tripping characteristic, the S201M-B16UC has a rated current of 16 A and a rated short-circuit capacity of 10 kA. The Type B characteristic provides magnetic instantaneous tripping at relatively low multiples of rated current, making the breaker well suited to circuits where high inrush currents are not normally expected.
The S201M-B16UC forms part of ABB’s universal-current S200 M UC family and is suitable for AC and DC circuit protection. Its compact single-pole construction and standard DIN rail mounting make it suitable for distribution boards, industrial control panels, auxiliary supplies and specialist DC or traction electrical systems.

Reliable Type B Protection for AC and DC Circuits
The ABB S200 M UC range is designed to provide miniature circuit breaker protection across both alternating-current and direct-current applications. The S201M-B16UC combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection, disconnecting the protected circuit when electrical conditions exceed the breaker’s defined operating characteristics.
Its Type B characteristic makes the S201M-B16UC particularly suitable for circuits with comparatively low inrush currents. For DC installations, the applicable polarity, system arrangement and permitted voltage for the selected pole configuration must be observed in accordance with ABB installation requirements.
Typical Applications
- DC electrical distribution systems.
- Railway and traction electrical systems.
- Industrial control and automation panels.
- Auxiliary and control power circuits.
- Battery-backed DC systems.
- AC and DC circuits requiring 16 A Type B protection.
- DIN rail modular electrical distribution assemblies.
