Blue Sea Systems 5061 Waterproof In-Line Fuse Holder, 20A, 12-16 AWG

The Blue Sea Systems 5061 is a waterproof in-line fuse holder built to protect a single circuit on a boat or other marine 12-volt system. It accepts 12-16 AWG wire and is rated for a maximum fuse amperage of 20 amps, making it suited to smaller-gauge circuits such as accessory, lighting, or instrument feeds where a compact, sealed fuse holder is needed. The fuse itself is sold separately and is not included with the holder.

Housed in beige plastic with a free-hanging (in-line) mounting style, the 5061 uses a screw-type connector to secure the wire leads inside the housing, and its sealed construction is designed to keep out moisture and spray, making it appropriate for wet or exposed locations aboard a boat where an open fuse block is not practical. Its compact 2 inch by 1 inch footprint allows it to be tucked into tight wiring runs behind panels or near the point of connection.

Because it is rated to 20 amps and sized for 12-16 AWG wire, the Blue Sea Systems 5061 is intended for lighter-duty circuits. Blue Sea Systems also offers the 5062 Heavy Duty In-Line Fuse Holder for circuits using 12-18 AWG wire at up to 30 amps.
