The Siemens Q220 is a Type QP miniature molded case circuit breaker designed for electrical distribution applications. It features a 2-pole configuration with a common trip mechanism, delivering a continuous current rating of 20 Amps and a voltage rating of 120/240V AC. Engineered with thermal and fixed magnetic trip technology, this breaker provides a 10 kA interrupting rating to protect circuits against overloads and short circuits. The unit utilizes a plug-in mounting style for installation within compatible load centers and is equipped with load lug terminals that accept 14 to 6 AWG copper or aluminum wire. It operates reliably in environments up to 40°C and is UL 489 approved. Before purchasing, verify panel compatibility, condition, source, availability, and lead time directly in the written quote.
Application context: Designed for use in load centers for residential or commercial electrical distribution.
