Does the BDA36035 replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame BDA36035 is the direct replacement for the discontinued FA36035 F-Frame circuit breaker. It is designed to fit the same I-Line panelboards without requiring blank fillers.

This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the load side lugs on this breaker?
The load side mechanical lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG. They are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) conductors.
What does the "D" in the BDA36035 part number signify?

Installed & working
Ordered this from SuperBreakers when local vendors were quoting me 25%+.
So I got a refurbished version of this breaker.
It is installed and working.
Also, service was great.
Thank you SuperBreakers!
