BQ Series 15 A single-pole breaker
The SIEMENS BQ1B015 is a 15 A miniature circuit breaker rated for 120 V AC single-phase circuits. It carries a 10 kA interrupting rating at that voltage and uses a toggle actuator for manual switching. The unit belongs to the BQ series with a 125 A frame size and mounts by bolting directly onto compatible Siemens panelboards.
Bolt-on mounting and lug terminals
A bolt-on mounting style secures the breaker firmly to the panelboard bus, reducing the chance of loose connections over time. Lug terminals accept copper conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG and aluminium conductors from 12 AWG to 10 AWG. The compact body measures 1 inch in length, 3 inches in width and 4 inches in depth.
Verify panelboard compatibility and wire gauge
Confirm that the target panelboard is listed for use with Siemens BQ series breakers before ordering. Ensure the circuit conductors fall within the 14 to 10 AWG copper or 12 to 10 AWG aluminium range so they fit the lug terminals. This breaker is not rated for DC applications and provides only a single pole of protection.
