The Eaton CHF120 is a 1-pole, 20 A, 120 V plug-in breaker from Eaton's CHF series, designed to fit Eaton CH (Type-CH) loadcentres and panelboards. Its push-in wire termination speeds up installation without sacrificing the 10 kA interrupting rating required for most residential and light-commercial services. Not interchangeable with Eaton BR-series or other manufacturers' panels.

The CHF120 features a push-in ("push-wire") termination, allowing conductors to be inserted directly without a screw clamp — ideal for faster installation. The CH120 uses a traditional screw terminal. Both are 1-pole 20 A 120 V breakers rated for CH-type panels, but they are not interchangeable with each other at the terminal end.
The CHF120 is rated at 20 A, so the branch-circuit wiring must be a minimum of 12 AWG copper (rated for 20 A) per the Canadian Electrical Code. Using 14 AWG (15 A) wire on a 20 A breaker is a code violation. If your circuit is wired with 14 AWG, you would need the CHF115 instead.
