Built for residential and commercial power distribution, this 60A thermal magnetic breaker delivers consistent overcurrent protection. The 2-pole device operates at 120/240VAC and features common trip functionality. It mounts into ITE and Siemens Pushmatic load centers, providing a seamless replacement for older Gould and Bulldog P260 units. With a 10kAIC interrupting rating, the breaker features signature push-button actuation and accepts 6-4 AWG copper or aluminum wiring.
What load centers are compatible with the Siemens P260 circuit breaker?
The Siemens P260 is designed exclusively for use in ITE and Siemens Pushmatic load centers. It features the proprietary Pushmatic bolt-on design and will not fit standard plug-on or modern bolt-on panels.
Can the Siemens P260 replace older Bulldog or Gould breakers?
Yes, the Siemens P260 serves as a direct replacement for legacy Bulldog, Gould, and ITE P260 or W260 Pushmatic circuit breakers.
How is the Siemens P260 installed in a Pushmatic panel?
The P260 uses a specialized bolt-on connection that secures directly to the panel bus bar with screws. Ensure the panel is de-energized before bolting the breaker into place.
What wire sizes are accepted by the P260 breaker lugs?
The terminal lugs on the Siemens P260 are rated for 6 AWG to 4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Proper torque must be applied during installation to ensure a secure connection.
Does the P260 use a standard toggle switch for operation?
No, the P260 utilizes the signature Pushmatic push-button actuation instead of a traditional toggle switch to manually open and close the circuit.
What type of trip protection does the P260 provide?
The P260 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. It provides long-time protection for sustained overloads and instantaneous protection against short circuits.

Review summary
Customers rate this product 5.0 out of 5 based on 18 reviews.
I needed some filler plates for an older breaker panel. Not available at any retail places I could find, thankfully Superbreakers had them. A couple minor issues: they didn't include the size specifications (L x W x D) online, which would have helped confirm they were the right fit; and they included an unrelated picture (along with the right one).
But the online order processing was easy-to-use and had all the info needed (especially the shipping options/costs, and the return policy). They also stuck to their word about getting it out in 24 hours. It arrived via UPS Ground in a respectful 5 days. They of course fit the panel and all is well.
Overall, very pleased with the company.

The part was correct,, but
The part was correct,, but I was shocked when the cheapest (ground) shipping was almost as much as the part that only weighed 8 ounces. The part was $14.03 and the shipping was almost $13.00.

Happy with my Purchase
This is the 4th time I have used SuperBreakers and have been happy with my purchase every time. I have an old style style system in my house and the company I was using told me the old style breakers were impossible to find and charged me $80 each. Next time I needed one I found SuperBreakers had them for $15 each. I am no longer using that electrical company.
