It accepts MAXI fuses (fuse sold separately) and is rated for a maximum of 48 amps at up to 32 volts DC, making it suited for high-current circuits such as bilge pumps, windlasses, and other heavy-draw accessories that need in-line overcurrent protection close to the battery or power source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block comes supplied with a 5 inch #6 red lead wire and two adhesive-lined sealing shrink wrap tubes for a sealed, corrosion-resistant termination. A firewall surface mounting hole permits two or more fuse holders to be mounted together for organized, multi-circuit installations, and the mounting hole accepts a 1\/4 inch, M6, or #12 screw. A protective cover with a retaining strap shields the fuse from accidental contact and moisture while still allowing easy access. The housing design also allows for labeling, spare fuse storage, and easy fuse removal, so the correct replacement fuse is always on hand and circuits stay clearly identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed of black plastic, the 5068 fuse block measures 1.8 x 3.88 x 7.88 inches and weighs 0.35 pounds. It is designed for boat owners and marine electricians who need a compact, panel-free way to add MAXI fuse protection directly in-line on a circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5068\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAXI In-Line Fuse Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch, M6, or #12 screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Lead Wire:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inch #6 red lead wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two adhesive lined sealing shrink wrap tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuse Type Accepted:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAXI Fuses (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 x 3.88 x 7.88 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ignition protected for gasoline engine compartment installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Blue Sea Systems 5068 fuse block used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5068 is a MAXI in-line fuse block that provides overcurrent protection for a single high-current DC circuit, such as a bilge pump or windlass feed, without requiring a full fuse panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum amperage and voltage rating for part number 5068?\u003c\/strong\u003e This fuse holder is rated for a maximum of 48 amps at up to 32 volts DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 5068 fuse block come with a fuse included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Blue Sea Systems 5068 accepts MAXI fuses, but the fuse itself is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wiring is supplied with the 5068 fuse holder?\u003c\/strong\u003e It ships with a 5 inch #6 red lead wire along with two adhesive lined sealing shrink wrap tubes for sealing the termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Blue Sea Systems 5068 safe to mount in a gasoline engine compartment?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5068 MAXI fuse block is ignition protected, which allows it to be installed in a gasoline engine compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan more than one 5068 fuse block be mounted together?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, its firewall surface mounting hole design permits two or more 5068 holders to be mounted together for organized multi-circuit installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size mounting hardware does the 5068 fuse block require?\u003c\/strong\u003e The mounting hole accepts a 1\/4 inch screw, an M6 screw, or a #12 screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of the Blue Sea Systems 5068?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5068 fuse block measures 1.8 x 3.88 x 7.88 inches and weighs 0.35 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 5068 fuse holder made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed of black plastic, including the protective cover with retaining strap that shields the fuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 5068 fuse block have storage for a spare fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the housing design of the 5068 allows for labeling, spare fuse storage, and easy fuse removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the fuse protected from moisture or accidental contact on the 5068?\u003c\/strong\u003e A protective cover with a retaining strap covers the MAXI fuse on the 5068 while still allowing easy access for fuse changes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989501587675,"sku":"BSS-5068","price":34.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/5068.jpg?v=1784507496","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/blue-sea-systems-5068-maxi-in-line-fuse-block-48a-32v-dc-ignition-protected","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
