Pluggable 1-channel thermal device rated for 250VAC/72VDC at 2A. Fits vehicle flat-type fuse terminal blocks, offering instant manual reset capabilities.
The Phoenix Contact 0712217 (TCP 2A) is a high-performance 1-channel thermal device miniature circuit breaker engineered for reliable overcurrent protection. Designed to safeguard electrical loads up to 250V AC or 72V DC, this unit features a strict 2A nominal current rating and operates primarily via a precise thermal tripping mechanism. It boasts a highly space-efficient, pluggable design that interfaces directly with vehicle flat-type fuse terminal blocks (such as the UK 6-FSI/C and ST 4-FSI/C). By integrating a manual device switch, it enables instantaneous reactivation and system isolation without the need for part replacements, significantly minimizing machine downtime. Built for demanding industrial environments, the breaker features an IP40-rated actuation area and operates securely across a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.

Overload protection for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), small relays, and HMI units where rapid reset without part replacement is required.
Minimizes machine downtime by allowing operators to simply reset the breaker manually instead of searching for replacement flat-type fuses after current spikes.
Safeguards secondary DC and AC circuits supplying machine vision illumination or enclosure internal lighting circuits.
Prevents thermal damage to lighting systems drawing up to 2A, securely isolating faults locally without tripping upstream main cabinet breakers.
Circuit protection on 24V/48V/72V test benches that standardizes on automotive vehicle flat-type fuse slots for component evaluation.
Easily retrofits into testing environments using standard terminal blocks (like the UK 6-FSI/C) to seamlessly upgrade traditional fusing to resettable breaker technology.
