E-t-a GS11432 Push Botton

E-T-A 1140-Series (GS11432) Push-to-Reset Thermal Circuit Breaker | 15A

Protect your valuable electronics and electrical connections with the superior performance of the E-T-A 1140-Series Thermal Circuit Breaker. Engineered in Germany by a world leader in circuit protection, this device offers a robust and highly reliable alternative to standard fuses, ensuring your equipment is safeguarded against damage from overcurrent and short-circuit conditions. Ideal for a vast range of applications, from power supplies and industrial machinery to medical devices and household appliances, this push-button circuit breaker combines precision engineering with user-friendly operation.

The core of this component is its dependable thermal trip mechanism, which provides accurate and repeatable protection. In the event of an overload, the breaker trips, and the push button extends to provide a clear and immediate visual indication of the circuit´s status. Resetting the circuit is as simple as pushing the button back in, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming fuse replacements. This resettable design not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime over the life of your equipment.

Key Benefits:

* Uncompromised Safety: Features a trip-free, snap-action mechanism. This critical design ensures that the breaker will trip and open the circuit during an overload event, even if the reset button is manually held in the "on" position. This prevents the circuit from being forcibly closed under fault conditions, providing the highest level of safety for both the equipment and the operator.
* Reliable Overcurrent Protection: The tease-free design ensures that the contacts cannot be slowly or partially closed, preventing arcing and contact damage. This guarantees a positive, decisive switching action every time, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the breaker.
* Cost-Effective and Convenient: As a resettable device, it serves as a durable and economical replacement for single-use fuses. The simple push-to-reset functionality allows for quick recovery from trip events, minimizing system downtime.
* Effortless Installation: Designed for seamless integration, it features a threaded neck body that allows for quick and secure panel mounting. This industry-standard mounting style ensures it can be easily incorporated into control panels, power distribution units, and equipment chassis.

Main Features:

This component is a single-pole thermal circuit breaker with a push-to-reset tease-free, trip-free, snap-action mechanism. Its design is optimized for durability and consistent performance in demanding environments. The convenient threadneck is specifically engineered for straightforward panel mounting, providing a clean and professional finish to any installation.

Buttons:

The device is operated via a single, prominent push button that serves a dual purpose. In its normal state, the button is recessed. When the circuit trips due to an overcurrent condition, the button pops out, providing a distinct visual and tactile signal that the circuit has been interrupted. A simple press of the button resets the breaker once the fault condition has been cleared.
