Schneider Electric QO235 Plug-In Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D QO235 is a 35-amp, two-pole, 120/240-volt plug-in miniature circuit breaker designed for QO load centers. It provides thermal-magnetic protection with a common-trip design and a 10 kA interrupt rating, making it well suited for safeguarding branch circuits in residential and light-commercial panels. The plug-in mount allows quick, field-friendly replacement in compatible QO panels, and the device is rated for 120/240 VAC operation with simultaneous disconnection of both hot legs on fault. As part of the QO family, the QO235 fits standard QO distribution panels and is intended for circuits up to 35 A. Typical applications include protecting lighting, receptacle, kitchen, laundry, and other 120/240 V circuits within a panel where a 35 A rating is appropriate. With a 10 kA interrupt capacity, it helps limit fault currents to safe levels and contributes to overall electrical safety in home and light-commercial wiring. This breaker is a plug-in, two-pole unit designed specifically for Square D QO panels, offering straightforward replacement for older 2P 35 A breakers in existing installations.
