#10-32 TPI stud
27 Vdc, 30 A rating provides reliable protection for DC circuits in automotive power distribution. This device interrupts a fault quickly to limit arc energy and prevent wire insulation damage, while maintaining safe shut-off under load. Business impact: improved equipment uptime and reduced battery drain during fault events. Application: power distribution blocks, ECU power rails, and accessory controllers in automotive or off‑highway applications. With an interrupt rating of 1.5 kAIC at 12 Vdc and a Type III series construction, CB123-30B withstands high-current faults and vibration without nuisance tripping. Business impact: fewer false trips that interrupt production lines or diagnostic work, and better protection for sensitive sensors. Application: heavy-duty control circuits, motor-starting circuits, and rugged harnesses in commercial vehicles. Connection uses #10-32 TPI studs, enabling direct mounting to standard terminals and ease of replacement in field installations. This reduces wiring complexity and enables reliable harness integration. Business impact: lower installation time and fewer connection failures, translating to lower maintenance costs. Application: inline power feeds and distribution close to controllers in dashboards, engine bays, and chassis installations. RoHS compliance supports regulatory alignment in markets with restricted substances; while CE certification specifics should be confirmed with Eaton for certain regions, the RoHS statement helps streamline approvals. Business impact: faster time-to-market and simplified supplier qualification. Application: automotive electronics supply chains requiring compliant protection devices. Rugged design and Bussmann lineage provide predictable performance across temperature and vibration in automotive environments, with a strong protection margin for power rails during transients. Application: rugged vehicle electronics and high-current protection.

FAQs

CB123-30B uses standard #10-32 TPI stud connections, enabling direct mounting to common chassis studs and panel hardware. This supports panel-mount enclosures and bus-bar integration, simplifying wiring layouts and reducing misconnects. Ensure proper torque, secure fit, and compatibility with existing automotive harnesses for reliable service in vibration-prone environments.
The device is rated for 27 Vdc operation, 30 A continuous, with an interruption rating of 1.5 kAIC at 12 Vdc. It features Type III heavy-duty construction suitable for automotive use. These specs translate to fast fault clearance, protection of power rails and controllers, and resilience against supply transients common in vehicle electrical systems.
Yes. The CB123-30B is designed for rugged automotive applications with a robust, vibration-tolerant build and a RoHS-compliant material set. It protects critical DC circuits in engine bays, dashboards, and power distribution networks. Always verify your regional regulatory requirements and the exact CE status with Eaton for cross-border programs.
This product lists RoHS compliance. CE certification specifics should be confirmed with Eaton based on the market. RoHS support helps meet environmental and regulatory expectations in many regions, while site-specific approvals may require additional validation. For sensitive sectors, confirm all regional requirements before deployment.
The CB123-30B offers reliable, low-maintenance protection with a compact form factor that reduces enclosure footprint. By preventing electrical faults from propagating, it lowers downtime, extends device life, and simplifies replacement in field service. In fleets or production lines, this translates to measurable uptime gains and lower maintenance costs over the device’s life cycle.
