Why Choose the IMO UB10C2008A Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The IMO UB10C2008A is a compact UL 489 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the IMO UB10 Series, this two-pole circuit breaker provides dependable branch circuit protection for industrial control panels, machinery, automation equipment and electrical distribution systems.
Featuring an 8 A rated current, a two-pole configuration, a C curve trip characteristic and a 10 kA short-circuit interrupting capacity, the UB10C2008A is suitable for control, auxiliary and instrumentation circuits that may experience moderate start-up currents. Its linked two-pole construction allows both connected conductors to be disconnected simultaneously when an overload or short circuit occurs.
The UB10C2008A combines thermal overload protection with rapid magnetic short-circuit protection, helping to safeguard wiring, power supplies and connected electrical equipment. Its compact DIN rail mounting format supports efficient installation inside OEM machinery, industrial control panels and distribution enclosures.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Control Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current is detected. The thermal trip mechanism responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic trip mechanism provides rapid isolation during high-current short circuits. This combined operation helps reduce the risk of damage to wiring and connected electrical equipment.
The C curve operating characteristic enables the UB10C2008A to accommodate moderate momentary inrush currents while maintaining effective overload and short-circuit protection. Its two-pole construction makes it suitable for circuits requiring simultaneous disconnection of both conductors.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
- Control transformers and power supplies.
- OEM machinery and electrical control panels.
- Commercial and industrial distribution equipment.
