Providing advanced control, the Square D QOB235-1021 is a 2-pole, 35A miniature circuit breaker. It integrates a 120-240VAC shunt trip mechanism, enabling remote tripping capabilities for specialized commercial safety systems. Designed with a bolt-on mounting configuration, this breaker installs into Square D NQ and NQOD panelboards. Its box lug terminals are rated to accept 8-2 AWG copper or aluminum wiring. The breaker delivers a 10 kAIC interrupting rating and features a Visi-Trip flag.
What panelboards are compatible with the QOB235-1021 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for use in Square D NQ and NQOD series panelboards. It will not fit in standard QO residential load centers, which require plug-on breakers.
What does the 1021 suffix indicate on the QOB235-1021 catalog number?
The 1021 suffix designates that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120/240V AC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by an external voltage signal, which is commonly required for emergency stops or fire alarm system integration.
What is the plug-on equivalent of the QOB235-1021?
If you need this exact 35A breaker with a 120/240V AC shunt trip for a standard QO load center, the plug-on equivalent is catalog number QO2351021.
How does the QOB235-1021 mount into the panelboard?
It features a bolt-on connection, meaning it secures directly to the panelboard bus bar with screws. This provides a highly secure connection that prevents the breaker from vibrating loose in commercial and industrial environments.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this breaker?
The box lugs on this 35A breaker accept 8 AWG to 2 AWG wire. The terminals are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors, providing flexibility for field wiring.
Can the QOB235-1021 be used in DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 48V DC systems. When used in DC applications, it has a maximum interrupting capacity of 5kA.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism operate on this breaker?
The breaker uses a fixed LI (long-time and instantaneous) trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous tripping during short-circuit events.
