Ensure robust electrical safety and reliable circuit protection with the Blue Sea Systems 7181 285-Series Thermal Circuit Breaker. Engineered for medium-duty loads in DC systems up to 48V, this surface-mount breaker combines switching and circuit protection into a single device, making it ideal for marine and other demanding environments. Its ignition-protected design, meeting SAE J1171 standards, makes it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats. Upgrade your electrical system with confidence and maintain peak performance.

Key Benefits & Features:

  • High-Capacity Protection: Rated for 30 Amps and features a 3000A interrupt capacity at 48V DC, providing robust defense against overloads and short circuits.
  • Marine-Grade Durability: Ignition protected to SAE J1171 standards and waterproof to IP67, ensuring safe and reliable operation even in harsh marine conditions.
  • Clear Status Indication: A visible reset lever clearly shows an open (tripped) condition, allowing for quick troubleshooting.
  • Enhanced Safety: The 'trip-free' mechanism prevents the breaker from being held closed after a trip, enhancing safety by forcing a reset.
  • Wide Operating Range: Functions reliably across a broad temperature spectrum, from -40° C to 85° C.
  • Easy Installation: Designed for surface mounting and serves as a direct drop-in replacement for 185-series circuit breakers.
  • Secure Connections: Equipped with M6 terminal studs that accept 1/4" ring terminals for robust wiring.
