Description
Engineered for residential safety, the Eaton CH120CAFPN delivers combination arc-fault protection to mitigate electrical fire risks. This 20A, single-pole breaker is designed for 120/240V circuits requiring advanced AFCI monitoring. It installs into Eaton CH plug-on neutral load centers, eliminating the need for a pigtail connection. This legacy model has been replaced by the CHFP120AF but remains a direct fit. Rated for 10kAIC, the thermal-magnetic unit features HACR certification.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panels accept the CH120CAFPN?
It is designed exclusively for Eaton CH Plug-on Neutral load centers. It will not fit standard pigtail neutral CH panels or BR series load centers.
Can I use this in a non-Plug-on Neutral (PON) CH panel?
No, the PN suffix indicates it requires a Plug-on Neutral load center. For older panels requiring a pigtail neutral connection, use catalog number CH120CAF.
How does the plug-on neutral connection work?
The breaker connects directly to the neutral bar when seated on the bus. This eliminates the need for a pigtail wire, saving gutter space and reducing installation time.
What type of arc fault protection does this provide?
It is a Combination Type AFCI (CAFCI), meaning it protects against both parallel and series arcs to meet National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for living spaces.
Does this breaker provide GFCI protection?
No, this model only provides combination arc fault (CAFCI) protection. If you need dual function AFCI and GFCI protection, you will need a different breaker, such as the CHFP120DF.
What is the difference between CH120CAFPN and CH120CAF?
The CH120CAFPN features a plug-on neutral connection for modern Eaton CH PON load centers. The CH120CAF includes a traditional pigtail wire for older panels.

- CSChristine S.Verified BuyerReviewingEaton / Cutler-Hammer CH2100-LONG - 100A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/18/26Got a great refurbished breaker - saved a $6500 Service Replacement
When our main breaker frizzed out, the option we were presented with was replacing the entire panel and service due to the type and part - no longer produced for replacement parts. It would be a $6500 replacement.
We'll likely have to do it at some point but, for now, the replacement breaker we were able to source from Superbreakers (with a $25 warranty) was $5900 less expensive. installation ran a few hundred dollars and the tech said the part looked to be in excellent condition and was prepped for install as he would have hoped.
Very thankful for SuperBreakers!
