Unlike traditional blade fuses that require replacement after every fault, this unit features a manual reset switch with high-visibility indicator that simply flips back after an overload event clears. IP67 waterproof certification means the breaker survives full submersion up to 1 metre deep, while SAE J1171 External Ignition Protection approval permits installation in engine compartments and fuel tank spaces where explosive vapours may be present. Stainless steel M6 threaded studs resist saltwater corrosion far better than brass or tin-plated copper terminals. Ideal for protecting high-current marine audio amplifiers, windlass motors, live well pumps, and other 12V DC equipment drawing up to 80 amps continuous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCurrent rating: 80 amps continuous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReset type: Manual with high-visibility switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWaterproof rating: IP67 (submersible to 1 metre for 30 minutes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIgnition protection: SAE J1171 certified for engine compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTerminal type: Stainless steel M6 × 1 mm threaded studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVoltage: 12V DC (typical marine\/automotive applications)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMounting: Surface mount with bracket holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePart number: JLA-010-13685-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePackage weight: 0.18 kg (0.4 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual Reset Eliminates Fuse Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh-visibility toggle switch resets the breaker after an overload clears—no need to carry spare fuses or diagnose whether a fuse has blown.
