- Accepts 16–10 AWG copper wire for flexible field wiring
Circuit Protector 5 A 250 V AC
The SQUARE D 9080GCB50 is a single-pole thermal magnetic circuit protector rated at 5 A and 250 V AC. It mounts on DIN track and accepts copper conductors from 16 AWG to 10 AWG. The unit carries UL 1077 and CSA C 22.2 No 235 approvals.
Replaces fuses or older breakers
This protector replaces single-pole fuses or legacy breakers in panels that use DIN rail mounting. The jump is worth it when a resettable device with defined trip curves is required instead of a consumable fuse link. It suits circuits where 5 A protection matches the load and wire gauge.
DIN rail snap-in install
The protector snaps onto standard DIN rail and connects through NEMA terminal blocks for copper wire. Ensure the conductor size falls within 16 AWG to 10 AWG and torque terminals to the manufacturer’s specification. Mis-sized wire or loose connections are the common causes of nuisance trips or overheating.

Questions about this item
What DIN rail width does the 0.5 in wide 9080GCB50 mount on?
The protector clips onto standard 35 mm DIN rail; its 0.5 in overall width occupies one module space.
Which torque value should I use when landing 10 AWG copper on the NEMA terminal blocks?
Tighten the terminal screws to the manufacturer’s specified torque for 10 AWG copper; under-torquing is the common mistake that leads to overheating.
When should the 5 A thermal-magnetic protector be replaced after repeated trips?
Replace the unit if it trips at or below 5 A during normal operation, indicating the thermal element has fatigued.
