Agency Approvals
UL: Recognized as Supplementary Protector under UL 1077. Available
models meet Ignition Protection requirements in accordance with
UL1500. File E69543.
CSA: Accepted as a Supplementary Protector. File LR15734.
VDE: Approved to VDE 0642/EN 60 934 (Circuit Breakers for Equipment)
License No. 73782.
Users should thoroughly review the technical data before selecting a product part
number. It is recommended that users also seek out the pertinent approvals files of
the agencies/laboratories and review them to confirm the product meets the
requirements for a given application.
Mechanical/Environmental Data
Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
Humidity: Meets requirements of Mil-STD-202 method 103.
Shock: Tested per Mil-STD-202, method 213, test condition C
(100g @ 6 ms).
Vibration:Tested per Mil-STD-202, method 201, 10-55 Hz., 0.06"
(1.52mm) total excursion in 2 planes.
Fungus And Moisture Resistance: Special moisture resistant finish
applied to all ferrous parts.
Plastic parts are made of inherently
fungus resistant material.
Marking: International “1” and “0” symbols are marked on the toggle for
both W6 and W9. W9 units have “ON” and “OFF” molded into
the area at the base of the toggle. On a special order basis,
graphics can be imprinted on the rockers of rocker actuated W6
units. VDE approved versions of rocker actuated W6 breakers
have their rockers imprinted with “1” and “0.”
Mounting: Units are mounted with two #6-32 screws from the front of
the panel. Metric models for use with M3 x 0.5 screws are
available. To maintain published performance specifications,
units should not be mounted more than 90° from their normal
upright position.
Weight: Approximately 2.5 ounces per pole.

Electrical Data
Auxiliary Switch: See Auxiliary Switch Ratings Table 2 for details.
Calibration: Breakers will hold 100% of rated current.
Breakers may trip between 101% and 124% of rated load
(134% for AC/DC units).
Breakers must trip at 125% of rated load and above (135%
for AC/DC units).
Dielectric Strength: 50/60 Hz., 1500V: DC, 1100V.
Insulation Resistance: 100 Megohms at 500VDC.
Endurance: 10,000 on/off cycles - 6000 at rated load, 4000 at no load.
Units tested at six cycles per minute, 1 second on and 9
seconds off at 25°C ambient.
Relay Trip Coil: (Ratings applicable to all W6 models with this option)
24 to 277VAC, 150mA minimum available current;
6 to 48VDC, 300mA minimum available current.
