LOW-PROFILE FLUSH MOUNT CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Eliminate the need to stock fuses, have licensed electricians change fuses, and the possibility of installing an incorrect fuse compromising safety and voiding product warranties. Rack accessibility is improved by eliminating circuit breaker dog houses.

Selected
disjoncteur de faible hauteur
It's always a bit tricky with low-profile, since it is only 'height' when the c/b is standing on your desk; when installed, it becomes 'depth'! (from front to back)
More generally, we talk about 'disjoncteur compact', but as that can be 'compact' in various different ways, it introduces an ambiguity. Personally, unless your text makes any other mention of this 'low-profile' aspect in some specific way (like saying it allows smaller cabinet depths, for example), I'd be inclined to go for 'compact' or 'faible encombrement'.

: That's a machine translation of a US EN site, and not to be trusted. / As I said, not a native FR source! And a highly flawed machine translation!!
