The rating is 2 Amps I threw away the half of the case that had the brand on
it, I'll look at the other ones left in the plane next time at the airport.
The remaining model numer on the breaker is 431-202-101 --- which if you
look at :
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/pbcircuitbrkr.php
brings up a Potter & Brumfield Breaker model W58XC4C12A2 that looks just
like it. (431-202-101 is the Beech part number)
