Eaton CBC-15 Automotive Circuit Breaker - 1.5 kAIC Type I

The CBC-15 integrates a 14 Vdc operating voltage with a 15 A current rating and a robust 1.5 kAIC interrupt capacity, delivering reliable overcurrent protection for automotive power networks and equipment. This feature translates to lower risk of wiring damage and component failure in demanding vehicle applications, enabling OEMs to meet uptime targets and reduce field service costs. Its Type I construction and the #10-32 TPI stud connections provide a secure, vibration-friendly mounting method, which minimizes loose connections that can cause intermittent trips and heat build-up in harnesses used in trucks, RVs, or off-road equipment. The compact footprint paired with a 0.5 lb weight supports simpler integration into crowded electrical enclosures and serviceable modules, improving serviceability during routine maintenance and upgrades. With clear cataloging as CBC-15, compatibility with Bussmann series automotive protection products is preserved, ensuring a cohesive protection strategy across the vehicle electrical system. The device’s general specifications align with common automotive protection schematics, making replacement straightforward for service teams and improving inventory planning for distribution channels. TheCBC-15’s connection method and electrical ratings address common objections related to replacing larger, cumbersome breakers while providing industry-typical protection in a compact form factor. In practice, technicians benefit from consistent trip characteristics and predictable performance under typical automotive load profiles, supporting safer troubleshooting and faster repairs in fleet operations and manufacturing environments.
