Blue Sea Systems 5063 Heavy Duty In-Line AGC/MDL Fuse Holder, IP66 Water-Resistant Panel Mount
The Blue Sea Systems 5063 is a heavy duty in-line fuse holder built for AGC/MDL style fuses in demanding marine electrical installations. It mounts directly to a panel and is rated IP66, meaning the front of the holder is protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for exposed or wet locations onboard. The holder accepts 12-18 AWG wire and supports fuse amperages up to 20 Amps, giving installers flexibility when protecting a range of circuits from lighting and pumps to accessory wiring. Installation is straightforward: the holder mounts through a 0.50 inch (12.70 mm) panel hole, allowing a clean, secure fit without extra brackets or hardware. The housing is molded from durable plastic in a beige finish, sized at 5 x 2 x 1 inches, and is built to withstand the vibration and moisture typical of marine environments. The fuse itself is sold separately, so buyers should have their appropriate AGC/MDL fuse on hand before installation. This fuse holder is a straightforward, reliable way to add in-line overcurrent protection to a DC circuit without the bulk of a full fuse block, and its water-resistant rating makes it a practical choice anywhere the circuit run is exposed to spray or splash.
