Blue Sea Systems 5005 ANL Fuse Block, 300 Amp, 5/16 Inch Stud with Insulating Cover

The Blue Sea Systems 5005 is an ANL fuse block built to protect and distribute power on DC electrical systems rated up to 32 Volts. It accepts ANL fuses from 35 up to 300 Amps and terminates with 5/16"-18 (M8) ring terminals on stainless steel studs, which resist corrosion and hold up under high torquing for a secure, low-resistance electrical connection. The block mounts to a panel using #10 (M5) screws and measures 4.5 inches wide by 1.65 inches high, with an 8 inch centerline pitch between the two fuse positions.

A swing-out insulating cover is a key feature of the 5005: it allows the fuse to be replaced without removing any fasteners, and its breakouts let wiring exit in any direction for a clean installation. The cover also satisfies ABYC/USCG requirements for insulated fuse terminals. The base of the block is molded from UL 94-V0 rated plastic that resists high heat, with the mounting studs insert-molded in place for a fuse connection that stays secure over time. The fuse itself is sold separately. This fuse block is a common choice for protecting battery banks, inverters, windlasses, and other high-current circuits on boats and other 12V/24V DC systems.
