Himel MCBs in Malaysia: HDB3wHN 6kA, HDB9H 10kA, the codes and shop prices

Himel MCBs are a common budget choice on Malaysian boards. Wiremen in Malaysian groups put Himel’s price around Maxguard’s, and one homeowner reported two boards fitted entirely with Himel MCBs and RCCBs that worked properly during lightning. An MCB protects the cable against overload and short circuit. It doesn’t detect earth leakage, which is the job of an RCCB or RCBO.

Himel has no Malaysian product website, and its Malaysian supplier, Desea Sdn Bhd of Petaling Jaya, has no online catalogue. The table comes from Himel/Desea’s Malaysian list price effective 1 September 2021, hosted by the seller Kuasa Jati, and from the catalogue of KVC, a Malaysian distributor, as of 8 October 2026. The two agree on every code that appears in both.

Himel HDB3wHN and HDB9H MCBs (Malaysia)

Himel miniature circuit breakers as sold in Malaysia through Desea Sdn Bhd: the 6kA HDB3wHN series (1–4 pole, C curve, 6–63A), the 10kA HDB9H series (1–3 pole, C curve, 6–63A) and the 27mm HDB3w-125 for 80–125A. Himel has no Malaysian product site; the codes come from Desea's 2021 Malaysian list price and the KVC distributor catalogue (October 2026).

Where the codes come from
Himel's website is a single global site with no Malaysian catalogue. Rows are the codes in Himel/Desea's Malaysian list price effective 1 September 2021 and in KVC's catalogue in October 2026; the two agree on every code they share

HDB9H (10kA)
1P, 2P and 3P; C curve; 6–63A; code HDB9H63A + poles + C + amps (e.g. HDB9H63A1C20)

Sources

Three series in the Malaysian sources

  • HDB3wHN, 6kA. 1, 2, 3 and 4 poles; C curve; 6, 10, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 63A. Read HDB3wHN1C16 as 1-pole, C curve, 16A. Sellers often shorten the name to “HDB3wH”.
  • HDB9H, 10kA. 1, 2 and 3 poles; C curve; 6–63A. Read HDB9H63A2C20 as 2-pole, C curve, 20A.
  • HDB3w-125. 80, 100 and 125A in 1–4 poles, at 6kA (codes with N) or 10kA (H).

Every code in Desea’s list and KVC’s catalogue is a C curve. We found no B or D curve Himel code there, and the curves of the HDB6s and HDB9N aren’t known from Malaysian sources. If a circuit needs another curve, ask the supplier or consider another brand.

Breaking capacity is the short-circuit current the breaker can interrupt. Which one a board needs depends on the prospective fault current where it’s installed, which is higher close to the supply transformer; the installer decides.

The HDB6s that shops also sell

Many shops sell a cheaper Himel MCB, the HDB6s. It’s an approved model on JKR’s eMAL list, and Quintex in Shah Alam lists it at RM3.70 (1P), RM13 (2P) and RM22 (3P, RM25 for 63A). We found no full HDB6s code list or breaking-capacity rating in Malaysian sources, so it isn’t in the table. Check the kA rating printed on the unit if you’re offered one. KVC also lists HDB3wZ codes. Himel’s naming suggests these are a different version, which we haven’t verified, so they’re also left out.

JKR approval

JKR’s eMAL MCB list includes Himel, supplier Desea Sdn Bhd, made in China. The approved Himel MCB models are HDB9N, HDB6s and HDB3wHN. HDB9H, the 10kA series KVC lists, isn’t among them. JKR requires approved MCBs to meet IEC 60898-1. That applies to the approved models, not automatically to every code.

Prices in Malaysia

Desea’s 2021 dealer list price, before trade discount, was RM10 for a 1P HDB3wHN up to 40A, RM31 for 2P, RM52.50 for 3P and RM78 for 4P; 50 and 63A cost more (RM17.80 for 1P). The 10kA HDB9H was RM27.20 for 1P, RM56 for 2P and RM87 for 3P.

Shop prices in October 2026 were lower. These are marketplace listings found through BigGo Malaysia, and they show what sellers advertise, not stock:

  • VORCX (Selangor): HDB3wHN 1P RM5.81–10.37, 2P RM17.56–26.11, 3P RM30.78–38.53, 4P RM46.97–57.46, depending on rating.
  • Save OS (Penang): HDB3wH 1P RM4.76–9.
  • 929 Store (Kuala Lumpur): HDB3wHN 2P from RM16.
  • powerlineenterprise: HDB9 1P RM30.25–46.09.

For comparison, ABB’s 6kA SH201 was about RM9–13 a pole (6–40A) at Malaysian shops, about the same as a Himel HDB3wHN.

Where to find them

  • Samajaya Elec Trading, Kuala Lumpur, has Himel MCB pages from 6A to 63A in 1–3 poles, including the HDB6s and an HDB3w-125, with no prices shown.
  • Quintex Electrical, Shah Alam (+603-5891 0355), has HDB6s prices on its site.
  • KVC lists all the HDB3wHN, HDB9H and HDB3w-125 codes in the table, with prices for signed-in accounts.
  • The Himel brand page lists the other stores we’ve profiled that carry Himel.

The MCB category page explains poles, curves and breaking capacity and compares Himel with Maxguard, Schneider and ABB.
