Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1489-A2D060 is a DIN rail–mounted 2-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for industrial automation and control panel protection. This discontinued model delivers thermal-magnetic trip protection with a 6-amp rating across 480Y/277VAC and 96VDC systems. The lug-in/lug-out connection design simplifies panel integration and allows quick disconnect for maintenance or replacement.
Key Features
- 2-pole configuration for balanced three-phase or split-phase circuits
- 6-amp rated current with Trip Curve D for moderate inrush tolerance
- Dual voltage compatibility: 480Y/277VAC and 96VDC
- Lug-in/lug-out terminals for secure, tool-free assembly
- Thermal-magnetic protection responding to both sustained overload and short-circuit events
- DIN rail mounting for standard 35mm rail systems

Typical Applications
The 1489-A2D060 is used in industrial control panels, machinery automation, lighting circuits, and distribution boards where moderate overcurrent protection is required. Its dual-voltage capability makes it suitable for:
- AC motor control circuits up to 6 amps
- Industrial sensor and signal conditioning circuits
- LED and luminaire protection
- DC solenoid and proportional valve protection
- Backup power and UPS systems
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard 35mm DIN rail systems
- Three-phase and single-phase industrial control circuits
- Allen-Bradley control panels and automation systems
- IEC 61947 and UL 508 compliant enclosures
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 1489-A2D060 directly replaces other 2-pole, 6-amp, 480Y/277VAC circuit breakers in the 1489-A family. Verify exact terminal configuration and voltage rating before substitution. For modern applications, the 1489-M2D060 (current-generation thermal-magnetic MCB) is the recommended active alternative offering similar protection in a current-production platform.
Works With
- Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives and soft starters
- Rockwell Automation control systems and I/O modules
- Standard industrial control software and SCADA platforms
- IEC 61508 safety-rated systems (when combined with appropriate monitoring)
- UL 508 Listed panel assemblies and bus bars
