Q115AF - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

Q115AF - 15Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in an existing panel, getting the details right matters. The Q115AF is a 15-amp, 1-pole Type QAF plug-in circuit breaker designed for 120VAC applications requiring arc-fault circuit interruption. It carries a 10 kA I.C. rating at 120 VAC, is HACR-rated, and has a 40°C temperature rating. At 3.13 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 2.5 inches deep, it has a compact footprint suited to compatible equipment designed around this breaker type. For maintenance work on an existing or legacy electrical system, the Q115AF can be a practical choice when you need to match the original breaker's type, ratings, connection style, and dimensions. There's no need to overcomplicate the selection: if your application calls for a Q115AF, compare the specifications and panel requirements carefully to confirm the fit. It's a straightforward electrical component that's built to last when properly matched, installed, and used within its rated limits.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15-amp, 1-pole design for compatible 120 VAC applications.
• Arc-fault circuit interruption (AFCI) for systems designed to use this type of protection.
• 10 kA I.C. at 120 VAC provides the breaker's specified interrupting rating.
• Plug-in configuration for compatible electrical equipment.
• At just 1 inch wide, the breaker maintains the physical format needed for applications designed around the QAF type.
• HACR rated for applications where this rating is required.
• 40°C rated based on the available product specifications.
• A useful option for legacy electrical systems where matching the existing breaker's form, fit, and function is the priority.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The Q115AF is HACR rated and has a 40°C temperature rating. Additional material-compliance or certification information was not provided in the available specifications, so it shouldn't be assumed. If a particular approval or compliance standard is required for your project, check the markings and documentation for the individual breaker before installation.

Where It Works Best

• The Q115AF 15-amp arc-fault circuit breaker is best suited to compatible panels and existing electrical systems that specifically call for its QAF plug-in configuration. It's especially relevant when maintaining legacy equipment and the job calls for matching the breaker already in use rather than changing the system configuration.
• Before making a replacement, don't rely on appearance alone. Check the existing breaker and panel information against the following important specifications: Q115AF, Type QAF, 15 amps, 1 pole, 120 VAC, 10 kA I.C., plug-in connection, and arc-fault circuit interruption. Physical dimensions should also be confirmed.
• The right breaker is ultimately the one that's approved for the application and matches the electrical system's requirements. Always verify panel compatibility, ratings, breaker type, and applicable electrical requirements before installation.
