It carries a 10,000 AIC (Amps Interrupting Capacity) rating at 14 volts DC, satisfying ABYC requirements for DC main circuit protection. The fuse body is molded plastic and includes a clear window that gives a visual indication when the fuse has blown, so a quick look confirms circuit status without needing to remove the fuse for testing. It is ignition protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline-powered boats where spark containment matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis terminal fuse is not mounted directly to a battery terminal. It must be installed in a compatible Terminal Fuse Block, specifically PN 5191 or PN 2151, which is sold separately and provides the mechanical mounting and electrical connection points for the fuse. Blue Sea Systems offers this terminal fuse line across a range of amperages, each identified by a distinct color for fast visual identification at a glance, with the 150 amp rating marked in orange.\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 5185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupt Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10,000 Amps Interrupting Capacity (AIC) at 14 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 3 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through-Hole Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085051853\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Fuse Blocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Terminal Fuse Block PN 5191 or PN 2151 (required, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal DC main circuit protection component for large battery banks;
