Commercial panelboards built for bolt-on QO breakers need bolt-on replacements. The Square D QOB120 is a 20 A, single-pole, 120/240 VAC QO miniature circuit breaker in the bolt-on style, with a 10 kA interrupting rating. Electricians use it for 20 A receptacle, lighting and equipment branch circuits in Square D panelboards that take QOB breakers.
Why electricians pick it
- Bolt-on mounting holds tight to the bus in commercial panelboards.
- 20 A single pole for receptacle, lighting and small equipment circuits.
- SWD and HACR rated for switching lighting and HVAC equipment.
- Accepts 14 to 8 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
- Compact 3/4 in QO single-pole width.

Pro tip from the counter
Tighten the load lug to the 36 lb-in shown on the breaker with a torque screwdriver instead of by feel. A loose lug on a busy 20 A circuit is one of the most common hot spots found on a thermal scan.
Best for: 20 A receptacle and lighting circuits, Square D bolt-on panelboards, commercial fit-outs, replacement breakers
