Q15 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q15 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing a breaker in an existing electrical panel, the details matter. The Q15 is a 15-amp, 1-pole Type Q circuit breaker with a plug-on connection and thermal-magnetic protection. It is rated 10k AIC at 120VAC and measures 4.81 inches high, 0.75 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep. Those specifications make it useful for compatible legacy equipment where you need to match the original breaker's size, mounting style, and electrical ratings. The 0.75-inch width is especially worth checking, since physical fit can be just as important as amperage when working with an existing panel. For maintenance or replacement work, the Q15 provides a familiar form, fit, and function for equipment designed around this Type Q configuration. It's a straightforward breaker made for a specific job and built to last when properly installed and used within its rated application.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15-amp, single-pole design for compatible 120 VAC applications.
• Type Q configuration helps match existing equipment designed for this breaker style.
• Plug-on mounting provides the connection method required by compatible panels.
• Thermal-magnetic operation provides overload and short-circuit protection within the breaker's specified ratings.
• 10k AIC at 120VAC for applications requiring this interrupting rating.
• At just 0.75 inches wide, the breaker maintains the narrow profile required by its intended panel configuration.
• A practical option for repair and maintenance of compatible legacy electrical equipment where matching the existing breaker is important.
