Eaton Corporation BR2020 Tandem Circuit Breaker 20A 120V

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BR2020 is a single-pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 20 amps per pole and 120 volts. It is a half-size, riveted tandem design that fits within a 1-inch case, allowing two 20A circuits to occupy the space of a single standard breaker slot. This breaker is built without a Class CTL rejection clip, which is a deliberate design choice that limits its use to specific load center applications. Electricians and qualified installers use this breaker as a direct replacement component in older residential and light-commercial panelboards.

The BR2020 is intended for replacement use in load centers manufactured prior to 1967 that do not require a Class CTL rejection feature. Its half-size tandem configuration is well-suited for panels where slot space is limited and two 20-amp circuits must share a single breaker position. This breaker ships individually barcoded and is sold in bulk packaging of 10 units per package, making it practical for distributors and electrical contractors stocking service inventory.

Key Features

• Dual 20A single-pole circuits in a half-size 1-inch tandem case
• Rated 120 volts for standard residential and light-commercial branch circuit use
• No Class CTL rejection clip — designed specifically for pre-1967 load centers without CTL requirements
• Riveted tandem construction keeps both poles positively aligned during installation and service
• Individual UPC barcode included for inventory and point-of-sale tracking
• Sold in bulk packs of 10 units per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tandem breaker for residential and light-commercial load centers manufactured prior to 1967 that do not require a Class CTL rejection clip.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the panelboard before removing or installing any breaker. Verify that the target load center accepts non-CTL tandem breakers before installing — using this breaker in a CTL-required panel is a code violation. Confirm the load center bus bar is rated to accept the BR-series tandem breaker footprint before seating the unit.
