FAQs

CBC-35B is designed for 14 Vdc automotive networks and uses a rugged #10-32 TPI stud connection for a secure, vibration-resistant mounting. It fits in wiring harness blocks and vehicle protection assemblies within standard 14 V automotive architectures. For installation, reference Eaton's installation guidelines and the CBC-B family compatibility notes; ensure proper clearance, strain relief, and secure stud torque per manufacturer recommendations.
Key specs include a 35 A amperage rating, 1.5 kAIC interrupt rating, and a 14 Vdc voltage rating. The unit uses a Type I tripping characteristic and a #10-32 TPI stud connection, delivering reliable overcurrent protection for automotive power circuits while withstanding vehicle vibration and environmental conditions.
CBC-35B is well-suited for on-board vehicle power distribution, protection blocks, and OEM harnesses in 14 V electrical systems. It supports retrofits in automotive upgrades and can be integrated with Eaton Bussmann CBC-B components to enhance protection in engine bays, chassis electrical subsystems, and critical load circuits where short-circuit resilience is essential.
Compliance for the CBC-35B is listed as 'Contact factory.' Regional regulatory requirements may include automotive safety and electrical protection standards. For definitive certifications, consult Eaton’s official CBC-35B datasheet and request current compliance documentation from Eaton’s technical support or your distributor partner.
The CBC-35B provides durable overcurrent protection with a robust 1.5 kAIC rating and rugged 10-32 stud connection, reducing field failures and maintenance visits. Although initial cost is higher than basic fuses, the reliability and reduced downtime translate to lower total cost of ownership in fleet or OEM programs, improving uptime and service intervals over the product lifecycle.
