Why Choose the ABB S203M-Z1.6UC Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203M-Z1.6UC is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in AC and DC electrical systems. As part of the ABB S200M UC System pro M compact® series, it combines universal-current capability with sensitive Type Z protection for industrial automation, control, traction and transportation applications.
This miniature circuit breaker features a Type Z tripping characteristic and a rated current of 1.6 A. The Z characteristic provides sensitive magnetic tripping, making this model particularly suitable for electronic equipment, control circuits and other loads requiring rapid protection against comparatively low overcurrent levels.
With three poles and a rated short-circuit capacity of 10 kA, the S203M-Z1.6UC provides dependable protection in compact DIN-rail installations. Its universal-current construction supports flexible application in AC and DC systems, while ABB order code 2CDS273061R0258 identifies this specific 1.6 A Type Z configuration.

Sensitive AC and DC Circuit Protection
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S203M-Z1.6UC automatically interrupt a circuit when excessive current occurs because of an overload or short circuit. This helps protect conductors, electronic equipment and electrical installations against thermal and electrical damage associated with abnormal current conditions.
The Type Z characteristic provides sensitive magnetic response and is therefore particularly useful for electronic devices, control equipment and other circuits requiring protection at relatively low fault-current multiples. Combined with the S200M UC series' AC/DC capability, this makes the S203M-Z1.6UC well suited to specialised industrial and transportation electrical systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial AC and DC distribution systems.
- Electronic equipment and sensitive electrical loads.
- Low-current control and auxiliary circuits.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- Railway and transportation electrical systems.
- DC power distribution and signalling circuits.
