Description
Designed specifically for vintage infrastructure, this 20A breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for 120/240V circuits. The unit fits perfectly into Federal Pacific Stab-Lok load centers, acting as a genuine alternative to the newer UBIF0220N cross-reference. Its thin wafer construction saves valuable gutter space, while the common trip mechanism ensures both poles disconnect simultaneously during faults.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the difference between the NC and NA series Federal Pacific breakers?
The NC series is a thin or half-size breaker, taking up 1/2 inch of space per pole. The NC0220 is a 2-pole breaker that occupies a total of 1 inch of panel space. The NA series is the thick or full-size breaker, which takes up 1 inch per pole.
Can I use a thick NA breaker in place of a thin NC breaker?
It depends on the specific bus pan in your Federal Pacific load center. Some FPE busbars have an E-shaped cutout that accepts both thin (NC) and thick (NA) style breakers, provided there is enough physical space in the panel. Other busbars only accept specific types.
Is there an aftermarket replacement for the Federal Pacific NC0220?
Yes, the Connecticut Electric UBIF0220N is a direct aftermarket replacement for the FPE NC0220. It is an ETL-listed, thin-style Stab-Lok breaker designed to fit the same legacy Federal Pacific load centers.
How does the NC0220 connect to the panel busbar?
The NC0220 uses a Stab-Lok plug-on mounting style. The copper stab on the rear of the breaker plugs directly into the E-shaped or F-shaped cutouts on the FPE panel busbar.
Are Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers safe to use?
Original Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok breakers and panels have a documented history of failing to trip during overcurrent or short-circuit conditions, posing a fire hazard. Many electrical professionals and home inspectors recommend replacing the entire FPE panel when possible. If a panel replacement is not immediately feasible, replacing faulty breakers with tested units or aftermarket alternatives can restore temporary functionality.

Was happy with all the service would’ve wished the person would inform me if I would’ve spent $15 more I could’ve got free shipping. That way I could’ve ordered another 20 amp circuit breaker. And got it for free.

I wasn't sure about ordering my particular breakers online because they don't make replica replacements but found the warranty outstanding. The follow-up call as a new customer and the speed with which my order was processed and completed was superior. The price was 1/3 what the ONE local supplier charged.
