Appl. No.:

12/033153

Inventors:

Larry Marshall Durham - Winston-Salem NC, US
Timothy Bernard Hasenour - Clemmons NC, US

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA

International Classification:

H01H 5/00

US Classification:

200400, 200 48 R, 335202, 335169, 439810, 361600

Abstract:

A mountable circuit breaker is disclosed. The circuit breaker includes a housing having first and second housing members and a latch member. The housing defines a rail receptacle for mounting the circuit breaker on an elongated channel rail. The latch member includes a base portion that includes a movably positionable retainer that moves toward or away from a biased position that is established by a stem portion of the latch member. Movement away from the biased position expands the rail receptacle for mounting the circuit breaker to the rail channel when an external force is applied to a tool receptacle adjacent the junction of the base and stem portions of the latch member. Removing the external force results in the base portion returning to its biased position, securing the circuit breaker to the channel rail.
