Eaton CBC-15B Automotive Circuit Breaker - 1.5 kAIC
Part Number: CBC-15B
Quick Summary
CBC-15B automotive circuit breaker protects automotive electrical circuits by interrupting faults, ideal for rugged vehicle and off-road systems. Engineers often struggle to find protection devices that survive vibration, endure wide temperature swings, and fit limited enclosures without nuisance trips. Compliance details are provided in Eaton’s CBC-15B datasheet, with approvals such as CE and UL listings where applicable depending on market and application. Using this device reduces downtime and warranty incidents by delivering reliable interruption at 14 Vdc, 15 A, and 1.5 kAIC while preserving critical circuitry. In addition, the #10-32 TPI stud termination supports simple, secure mounting in control panels and vehicle harnesses, streamlining procurement and installation.

FAQs
To install CBC-15B, mount the device in a suitable enclosure, align the #10-32 TPI stud terminals with the harness fittoffs, and tighten to Eaton’s recommended torque from the CBC-15B datasheet. Verify there are no cross-connections and that the wiring is secured against vibration. For precise torque values and installation steps, consult the Eaton specification sheet and planograms.
CBC-15B provides 14 Vdc operation, a 15 A nominal current rating, and a 1.5 kAIC interrupt rating. These specs indicate the device will reliably interrupt faults at typical automotive voltages while handling transients common in vehicle power systems, helping to protect wiring and components from overloads and short circuits.
Yes. The CBC-15B is designed for automotive protection, offering a compact footprint with a #10-32 stud connection that simplifies mounting in control panels and vehicle harnesses. Its 14 Vdc, 15 A rating and Type I trip provide reliable protection for power feeds, ignition circuits, and auxiliary loads in rugged automotive environments.
Certification details for CBC-15B are provided by Eaton and may vary by market. The datasheet notes that compliances should be confirmed with the factory. For current approvals, consult Eaton’s CBC-15B specification sheet and contact Eaton sales or engineering to verify CE, UL, or other certifications applicable to your region and application.
CBC-B refers to the Bussmann series family of automotive circuit breakers, while CBC-15B is a specific catalog number within that family.
