There are two basic components to a miniature circuit breaker. The first is a strip made of steel and copper, called the bimetallic strip. This is the strip that melts and interrupts the circuit in the case of a current overload. The other component is a coil that stops short circuits. The coil will trip in less than one-tenth of a second.
