Eaton Specification Sheet - CB223-15
The ATC Type III footprint benefits thermal performance and space utilization, reducing panel depth and enabling tighter wiring layouts. This translates to lower enclosure costs and faster harness assembly, while preserving reliable trip characteristics for demanding automotive circuits. The 15 A, 24 VDC electrical rating matches common automotive loads, delivering precise overcurrent protection and reducing nuisance trips in busy systems. The UL 94V-0 thermoplastic housing adds fire-safety assurance, and RoHS compliance ensures regulatory conformity across global supply chains, helping you meet environmental mandates without redesigns. Manual reset capability (as indicated in catalog variants) supports controlled recovery after fault events, minimizing inadvertent restarts and protecting critical loads. The option for gold (type I) or silver (types II and III) covers simplifies labeling and corrosion resistance in varying environmental exposures. Compatibility with standard ATC fuses ensures straightforward replacement and long-term availability, reducing total cost of ownership. In practice, engineers report shorter commissioning times and fewer field tickets thanks to the CB223-15’s compact form and clear electrical ratings, which align with typical automotive protection strategies and service workflows.
