The ACX6535 accepts ANG and ANS type midi fuses within the 30 to 80A current load range. Confirm the amperage rating of your chosen midi fuses suits your circuit requirements before installing. How many circuits does the ACX6535 protect? The ACX6535 is a twin holder protecting two separate circuits, one fuse per circuit. For single-circuit applications, a single in-line midi fuse holder may be more appropriate. Is the ACX6535 supplied with fuses? No. The ACX6535 is a fuse holder only. Compatible ANG or ANS midi fuses must be purchased separately. Contact us for compatible fuse options. What are the dimensions of the ACX6535? The ACX6535 measures 81mm x 41mm x 23mm, making it compact enough for installation in confined spaces such as under-seat or engine bay locations. Is the ACX6535 suitable for outdoor or marine use? The protective cover and zinc plated hardware provide basic protection against moisture and dust. However, the source data does not confirm an IP rating for the ACX6535. Contact us for further information if the installation environment involves heavy moisture or salt air exposure.

  • Rockford Fosgate RFCB140 140 Amp Circuit Breaker

    Rockford Fosgate Rockford Fosgate RFCB140 140 Amp Circuit Breaker

    Rockford Fosgate RFCB140 140 Amp Circuit Breaker When a blown fuse at the wrong moment means a full rewire job, the RFCB140 replaces a standard fuse holder with a 140-amp manual-reset circuit breaker that gets your system back online without touching the wiring. Product Overview The RFCB140 is Rockford Fosgate's 140 Amp Circuit Breaker, designed to protect mid-to-high-power car audio amplifier systems from overcurrent events without the cost and downtime of replacing a blown fuse. Rated at 140 amps, it covers the protection requirements of single high-output monoblock and dual-amplifier installations running 1/0 AWG or 4 AWG main power cable. All terminals are platinum plated for superior corrosion resistance and low-resistance electrical contact, and use a set-screw style connection that accepts bare wire directly without requiring ring terminals, simplifying installation and future servicing. When an overcurrent event occurs, the RFCB140 trips rather than blowing, and can be manually reset once the fault has been identified and cleared. The low-resistance, high-current design ensures minimal voltage drop across the breaker during normal operation, preserving maximum available voltage at the amplifiers. 1-year warranty. Features & Benefits Manual Reset Circuit Breaker: Unlike a fuse that must be replaced after an overcurrent event, the RFCB140 trips and can be manually reset once the fault condition has been resolved. This eliminates the need to carry spare fuses and allows the system to be restored to operation quickly in the field. 140 Amp Rating: Rated at 140 amps continuous, the RFCB140 provides the overcurrent protection threshold suited to mid-to-high-power single and dual-amplifier systems, including builds where combined amplifier fuse requirements fall within this range. Platinum Plated Terminals: All connection terminals are platinum plated for superior corrosion resistance and low-resistance electrical contact, maintaining a clean, reliable connection over the life of the installation without the oxidation issues common to standard plated terminals. Set-Screw Style Connection: The set-screw terminal design accepts bare wire directly without requiring ring terminals or crimped lugs, reducing the number of connection points in the power run and simplifying both initial installation and future servicing. Multiple Wire Gauge Compatibility: Accepts 1/0 AWG and 4 AWG power cable, covering the wiring gauge requirements of the majority of mid-to-high-power car audio amplifier installations without requiring adaptor fittings. Low-Resistance, High-Current Design: Internal resistance is minimised to ensure negligible voltage drop across the breaker during normal operation, preserving the full supply voltage available from the battery and alternator for the amplifiers downstream. Technical Specs Specification Detail SKU RFCB140 Current Rating 140A Reset Type Manual Reset Terminal Plating Platinum Terminal Type Set-Screw (no ring terminals required) Wire Gauge Compatibility 1/0 AWG, 4 AWG Warranty 1 Year Goes Well With The RFCB140 is a direct replacement for the main power fuse or fuse holder in mid-to-high-power car audio installations. It suits single monoblock amplifier builds such as the R2-250X1 (50A) paired with a 4-channel amplifier such as the R2-300X4 (60A), where the combined fuse requirement approaches 110A, or any single high-power monoblock where the specified fuse rating falls at or below this threshold. It sits in the main power cable run between the battery and the amplifier distribution point, installed as close to the battery as possible. For systems requiring 200A protection such as those running the R2-1200X1, the RFCB200 is the appropriate step-up option. A 1/0 AWG amplifier wiring kit is recommended for power and ground runs at this current rating. Frequently Asked Questions What is the advantage of a circuit breaker over a standard blade or ANL fuse in a car audio system? A standard fuse is a one-time protection device that must be physically replaced after an overcurrent event, which can mean carrying spare fuses and a delay in restoring the system if a fault occurs away from home. A manual-reset circuit breaker like the RFCB140 trips when an overcurrent event occurs and can be reset by hand once the fault has been identified and cleared, restoring the system to operation without replacing any components. Does the RFCB140 require ring terminals for installation? No. The set-screw terminal design on the RFCB140 accepts bare wire directly, tightened into the terminal with the set screw. This removes the need for ring terminals or crimped lugs at the breaker connection points, reducing the number of potential resistance points in the power run and making installation and future servicing more straightforward. Where should the RFCB140 be installed in the power cable run? The RFCB140 should be installed in the positive power cable as close to the battery terminal as possible, within 30-45 cm of the battery in most installations. This placement ensures that the maximum length of power cable between the battery and the amplifiers is protected against overcurrent and short-circuit events. The negative or ground cable does not pass through the circuit breaker. How does the RFCB140 differ from the RFCB200? Both the RFCB140 and RFCB200 are manual-reset platinum-plated circuit breakers sharing the same terminal design, wire gauge compatibility, and feature set. The only difference is the current rating: the RFCB140 is rated at 140 amps and suits mid-to-high-power single and dual-amplifier systems, while the RFCB200 is rated at 200 amps and is specifically matched to very high-power installations such as those running the R2-1200X1 monoblock. Choose the breaker whose rating meets or modestly exceeds the combined fuse requirements of the amplifiers in the system. Can the RFCB140 be used as a main disconnect switch as well as a circuit breaker? The RFCB140 is a circuit breaker with manual reset capability, not a purpose-designed disconnect switch. While manually tripping the breaker will interrupt the power supply to the amplifiers, it is not rated or designed as a deliberate on/off switch and repeated manual operation outside of fault conditions may affect the breaker's calibrated trip threshold over time. A dedicated battery disconnect switch is recommended if a regular power isolation point is needed in the installation.
