Thermal Automotive Circuit Breaker 1160-...

Product catalog summary
Description: The Thermal Automotive Circuit Breaker 1160 is a thermal circuit breaker with a controlled self-resetting mechanism, ideal for installation in inaccessible locations. It opens under overload conditions to protect the load circuit and remains open until the supply circuit is switched off briefly. It is classified as a Class 2 device and conforms to Type II of SAE J 553 standards.
Typical Applications: This circuit breaker is used in automotive and marine extra low voltage wiring systems, components, and battery-powered appliances.
Technical Data:
  • Voltage Rating: DC 12 V
  • Current Ratings: 12 to 30 A
  • Typical Life: 300 operations at 2 x IN
  • Ambient Temperature: -30 to +60 °C (-22 to +140 °F)
  • Holding Current: < 0.6 A
  • Reset Time at 23°C: < 35 sec after 5 s of load with UN
  • Interrupting Capacity: 200 A, L/R = 2.5 ms
  • Degree of Protection: Housing area IP54, Terminal area IP00
  • Vibration: 5 g (57-500 Hz) ± 0.38 mm (10-57 Hz)
  • Shock: 25 g (11 ms)
  • Corrosion: 96 hours at 5% salt mist
  • Humidity: 240 hours at 95% RH
  • Mass: Approx. 6 g
Ordering Information: The circuit breaker is available as a single pole plug-in type with a standard version of 12 V. Current ratings available are 12, 15, 20, and 30 A. An example ordering code is 1160-02-12A.
Standard Current Ratings and Voltage Drop Values: For current ratings of 12, 15, 20, and 30 A, the voltage drop is less than 150 mV.
Time/Current Characteristics: The time/current characteristic curve is influenced by ambient temperature. A derating factor is applied to prevent nuisance tripping, with specific factors provided for temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C.
Dimensions and Accessories: The product is designed with metric dimensions, and sockets are available upon special order. The internal connection diagram and typical time/current characteristics at +23°C are provided for reference.

Thermal Automotive Circuit Breaker 1160-...-1

Thermal Automotive Circuit Breaker 1160-... Description Thermal circuit breaker, with controlled self-resetting mechanism, specially suited to installation in inaccessible locations. Under overload conditions the circuit breaker contacts will open to protect the load circuit. A low current excitation circuit ensures that the contacts remain open thereby avoiding the hazards of automatic reset operation. The circuit breaker is reset by switching off the supply circuit for a short period. Class 2 device, contacts stay open until voltage is removed. Type II to SAE J 553. Typical applications Automotive and marine extra low voltage wiring systems and components, battery powered appliances.
