FAQs
CBT-15M is designed for compact vehicle installations and integrates with standard automotive harnesses. It should be mounted in protected panels or fuse blocks where space is limited, using appropriate wiring connections, and ensuring the catalog number CBT-15M is used for correct protection. Refer to Eaton's specification sheet CBT-15M for exact mounting dimensions and terminal types.
The CBT-15M is a 15 A, Type II automotive circuit breaker. It protects circuits from overcurrent conditions in vehicle electrical systems, making it suitable for lighting, ECU feeds, and small power distribution circuits where predictable trip characteristics are essential and nuisance trips must be minimized.
Yes, when the circuit draws within the 15 A rating and sits within the protection scheme of the CBT-M family. For electronics sensitive to short transients, ensure coordination with other protection devices and verify the system’s fault current profile using Eaton’s datasheets and planograms.
CBT-15M lists RoHS compliance, with additional certifications available from the manufacturer. For specific certifications like SIL, CE, or IP ratings, contact Eaton to confirm availability and obtain the appropriate documentation or test reports.
Eaton provides a dedicated specification sheet (CBT-15M), full-line catalogs, and planograms that support fast selection and accurate stocking. Access to these resources accelerates quoting, reduces design risk, and lowers maintenance time by enabling quicker part identification and replacement in field service.
