It uses a ST-Blade style body with tin-plated connector blades that resist corrosion in the damp, salt-air conditions typical of marine electrical systems, helping maintain a reliable connection over time. The fuse includes a visible blown-fuse indicator, so you can identify a tripped fuse at a glance without pulling it or testing it with a meter, which speeds up troubleshooting when a circuit goes dead. Choosing the correct MAXI-size wire and fuse combination for the amperage of the circuit is important for proper circuit protection, and this 70 amp rating is intended for circuits sized to that amperage. The fuse has a plastic housing in a beige color and measures 5 x 3 x 1 inches, and it is sold individually, one fuse per package. It is a through-hole mount blade design meant for use in a compatible MAXI in-line fuse holder or ST-Blade water-resistant fuse block rather than as a standalone device. This fuse is well suited for boat owners replacing a blown 70 amp MAXI fuse or building out a new circuit that calls for 70 amp overcurrent protection.\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 5142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 x 3 x 1 inches\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 Beige\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through-Hole Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085051426\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amperage is the Blue Sea Systems 5142 fuse rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 5142 is rated for 70 amps, intended for circuits sized to that amperage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat style of fuse is part number 5142?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 5142 is a MAXI-size in-line blade fuse with a ST-Blade style body, made to fit MAXI fuse holders and MAXI-compatible fuse blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 5142 MAXI Fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 5142 measures 5 x 3 x 1 inches as packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 70 amp MAXI Fuse weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This fuse weighs 0.04 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 5142 fuse housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing of the Blue Sea Systems 5142 fuse is plastic, with a beige colored body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I tell if the 5142 fuse has blown?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5142 includes a visible blown-fuse indicator, allowing you to see at a glance whether the fuse has tripped without removing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 5142 fuse mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a through-hole mount blade fuse, designed to plug into a compatible MAXI in-line fuse holder or MAXI fuse block rather than being wired directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many fuses come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 5142 MAXI Fuse is sold individually, one fuse per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat protects the connector blades from corrosion?\u003c\/strong\u003e The connector blades on the 5142 are tin-plated, which helps resist corrosion in marine electrical environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 5142 fuse work in any fuse holder?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5142 is sized for MAXI-style in-line fuse holders and fuse blocks; using the correct MAXI-size wire and fuse for the circuit amperage is important for proper protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Blue Sea Systems 70A MAXI Fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for part number 5142 is 632085051426.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989503193307,"sku":"BSS-5142","price":6.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/5142.jpg?v=1784507538","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/blue-sea-systems-5142-maxi-fuse-70a-water-resistant-blade-fuse-for-marine-dc-circuit-protection","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
