| 5TC SERIES

20 to 50 Amp, Single–Phase, Ambient Compensated

Introduction

Klixon® single–phase TC devices are the smallest, lightest, high performance aircraft circuit breakers available today. They represent the state-of-

the-art protection of today’s aerospace power systems. Their light weight and small size make them especially well suited for aircraft, avionics and

electronic systems.

The Klixon® trademark has set the standard for aerospace circuit breakers. For a small, light weight configuration, the TC series offers the endurance

and reliability required by exacting military specifications, and are available in standard current ratings from 1 through 50 amperes.
