Anyone know a good source for a 50A push-to-reset circuit breaker

I am having trouble finding a good brand of 50 amp push-to-reset breaker with screw terminals (not push fit connectors). I don't want a sketchy one from eBay or an unknown brand that I don't trust.

This is a picture of the type of thing I'm looking for but I need 50A.




Has anyone bought one of these - if so, where from?

Thanks.

BlueSea Systems #2141 -- Defender stocks them.


Doesn't look the same and is screw mounted, but the function is exactly what you want.

You're correct. The issue is that I'm trying to replace one that is in a very tight spot and I'm not sure that one will fit. I'm hoping for one that is the same form factor.

Amazon has tons of them and if you want a good brand they have that to. Ive had really good service with PKYS. Great products, but may not have the particular item you need. Worth checking. Defender. Google.

You seem to have picked a rare bird. the CLB itself comes up to 60A, and 40 and 60 are easily available, but 50 seems out of stock everywhere.

TE Connectivity makes a more expensive version in nearly the same form factor:

Use caution, the screw terminals on these stick out and are at a 45° angle, so if you are in a tight spot it might not work.

DelCity claims to have the CLB in stock. Worth a call to confirm. Check the option codes against the series datasheet to make sure you are getting what you want.
