Square D QOB215SWN 15A 2-pole Bolt-on Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The SQUARE D QOB215SWN is a 2-pole, bolt-on miniature circuit breaker rated at 15 amps and 120 VAC. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboard applications where a secure, vibration-resistant bolt-on mount is required. The pressure plate terminal connection accepts wire sizes from 14 to 8 AWG, accommodating a range of branch-circuit conductors. Weighing 0.59 pounds, this compact breaker measures 3.8 inches in length, 3.4 inches in width, and 2.3 inches in height. Licensed electricians install this type of device as part of panel upgrades, service replacements, or new branch-circuit work governed by National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements.

This breaker is intended for use in Square D NQOD panelboards in residential and light commercial electrical distribution systems. It is suited for branch circuits feeding HVAC equipment, lighting, or general-purpose loads requiring a 2-pole, 15-amp overcurrent device. The bolt-on mount style is commonly specified in applications where panel vibration or mechanical stress could loosen plug-in style breakers. Electricians working on panel retrofits or service upgrades will find this an appropriate OEM-style replacement for existing NQOD installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panelboard and verify absence of voltage before handling or replacing any circuit breaker. The bolt-on design requires proper torque to the busbar fasteners using appropriate hand tools. Do not install in plug-in style panel configurations not listed for bolt-on devices.
