Eaton Specification Sheet - CB234-15
Low-profile, compact plug-in design yields space savings and faster replacement, enabling OEMs and aftermarket installers to fit more protection in crowded automotive enclosures while reducing service time. The business impact is clear: less panel rework, shorter downtime, and improved overall equipment availability for critical vehicle systems such as engine controls and electrical harnesses. Application: plug-in automotive protection blocks in engine compartments and control panels where space is at a premium. The 15 A amperage and 150 AIC interrupt rating provide reliable circuit protection under fault current conditions, minimizing collateral damage and downstream repair costs in commercial fleets and off-road equipment. This translates to lower warranty returns and higher vehicle uptime during service cycles. The plug-in connection simplifies inventory and installation, reducing wiring errors and cabling complexity while supporting standard Bussmann automotive blocks in mixed-panel assemblies. Application scenarios include dashboard assemblies and power distribution modules where rapid part swaps matter most. RoHS compliance and SAE J1625 alignment address regulatory and testing requirements, supporting procurement with confidence and reducing compliance risk in global supply chains. Weight practicality matters as the CB234-15 ships at a minimal 0.45 g, alongside a standard packaging type, reinforcing its suitability for lightweight, space-constrained applications. This combination of form factor and rugged performance makes it a practical choice for high-density electrical protection in modern vehicles.

FAQs
CB234-15 uses a plug-in connection and a compact low-profile body. Ensure there is adequate clearance for the 0.03 m depth and that the harness matches the plug-in terminals, then seat the breaker firmly to complete the circuit. The installation is facilitated by its standard packaging and lightweight 0.45 g weight, which minimizes handling effort in crowded panels.
CB234-15 provides a 15 A amperage rating with a 150 AIC interrupt rating. This combination protects automotive circuits against overloads and short-circuit faults while enabling quick disconnection during fault events to prevent collateral damage.
Yes, CB234-15 is SAE J1625 compliant, ensuring it meets automotive electrical performance and testing standards. This matters for regulatory alignment, reliability under automotive operating conditions, and smoother integration with other SAE-compliant components in control systems.
Its low-profile footprint, plug-in connection, and compact dimensions (0.03 m x 0.01 m x 0.01 m) enable higher packing density. Combined with a very light weight, it reduces enclosure size requirements and supports faster field diagnostics and replacements in busy service environments.
CB234-15 carries RoHS compliance and SAE J1625 certification, which helps with regulatory approvals, sustainability goals, and automotive-grade reliability. These certifications simplify supplier qualification and reduce compliance-related risk in global manufacturing and service programs.
