STP
The M-Series is a low cost, miniature, hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker which features a compact, space saving
design, front panel snap-in mounting and a vertically mounted parallel pole configuration. It features various
styling options to maximize your design flexibility. Choices include rocker, illuminated rocker, paddle and
baton style handle actuators, push-to-reset and push-pull pushbutton actuators, as well as Visi-Rocker two color
actuators. Our exclusive Rockerguard bezel helps prevent inadvertent actuation and a wiping contact mechanism
assures long-term reliability.
The M-Series circuit breakers are available with 1, 2 or parallel poles, 0.02 to 50 amp ratings, and 125 and
250VAC or 80VDC versions. With over 16 different time delays, 5 terminal styles, a variety of panel hardware,
various colors, and legend imprinting, it assures suitability for most any application design.

M-Series Circuit Breaker - General Specifications
Electrical
125/250 VAC 50/60 Hz, 80 VDC
(See Rating Tables.)
Current Ratings
Standard current coils: 0.100,
0.250, 0.500, 0.750, 1.00 thru 15.0
in 1 amp increments, 18.0, 20.0,
25.0, 30.0. Other ratings available
- see Ordering Scheme.
Auxiliary Switch Rating SPDT; 7A 250VAC, 7A (Res)
28VDC, 4A (Ind.) 28VDC, 0.25A
80VDC (Res) (silver contacts),
0.1A 125VAC (gold contacts).
Insulation Resistance
Minimum of 100 Megohms at 500
VDC.
Dielectric Strength
UL, CSA 1500V, 50/60 Hz for one
minute between all electrically
isolated terminals. M-Series
Circuit Breakers comply with the
8mm spacing and 3750 V 50/60Hz
dielectric requirements from
hazardous voltage to operator
accessible surfaces, per
Publications IEC 380, 435, 950,
EN 60950 and VDE 0805.
Resistance, Impedance Values from Line to Load Terminal
- based on Series Trip Circuit
Breaker.
RESISTANCE PER POLE VALUES
from Line to Load Terminals
(Values Based on Series Trip Circuit Breaker)
Maximum Voltage

Endurance
Trip Free
Trip Indication
10,000 ON-OFF operations @ 6
per minute with rated Current and
Voltage.
All M-Series Circuit Breakers will
trip on overload, even when
actuator is forcibly held in the ON
position.
The actuator moves positively
to the OFF position when an
overload causes the circuit
breaker to trip.

Pulse Tolerance Curves
Designed in accordance with requirements of specification
MIL PRF-55629 & MIL-STD-202G as follows:
Shock
Withstands 100 Gs, 6ms, sawtooth
while carrying rated current per
Method 213, Cond. I. Instantaneous
curves tested at 80% of rated
current.
Vibration
Withstands 0.060” excursion
from 10-55 Hz, and 10 Gs 55-500
Hz, at rated current per Method
204C, Test Condition A.
Instantaneous curves tested at
80% of rated current.
Moisture Resistance
Method 106D, i.e., ten 24-hour
cycles @ + 25°C to +65°C, 80-
98% RH.
Salt Spray
Method 101, Condition A (90-95%
RH @ 5% NaCl Solution, 96 hrs).
Thermal Shock
Method 107D, Condition A (Five
cycles @ -55°C to +25°C to +85°C
to +25°C).
Operating Temperature -40° C to +85° C
Chemical Resistance
Only the outside surfaces of the
case and the handles may be
cleaned with detergents or
alcohol. Organic (hydrocarbon
based) solvents are not
recommended because they
attack plastics. Caution should
be taken when solvents are used
to clean and remove flux from
terminals. Lubricants should not
be introduced into the handle/
bushing openings
