Finished in blue for quick visual amperage identification, it is designed for use with Terminal Fuse Blocks (PN 5191 or PN 2151) and must not be mounted directly to a battery terminal. The fuse carries a 10,000 amp interrupt current (AIC) rating at 14 volts DC, which satisfies ABYC requirements for DC main circuit protection on large battery banks, and a maximum voltage rating of 58 volts DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear window on the housing gives a visible indication of a blown fuse, so troubleshooting a circuit does not require removal or testing. The fuse is ignition protected, making it safe for installation aboard gasoline powered boats, and it carries an IP66 rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets in an open marine environment. The housing is molded plastic and the fuse mounts through-hole into a compatible terminal fuse block. Measuring 4 x 3 x 1 inches and weighing 0.06 pounds, the 5187 is intended for DC main circuit protection where a compact, high-interrupt-rating fuse is required rather than a resettable breaker.\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 5187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupt Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10,000 Amps at 14 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Through-Hole Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\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\u003eIgnition Protected:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Fuse Blocks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Terminal Fuse Block 5191 or 2151\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amperage is the Blue Sea Systems 5187 terminal fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5187 is rated at 200 amps, identified by its blue housing color for quick visual sizing on a DC panel or battery bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 5187 be mounted directly to a battery terminal?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 5187 requires the use of a Terminal Fuse Block, PN 5191 or PN 2151, and must not be mounted directly to the battery terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum voltage rating of this fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e 58 volts DC is the maximum voltage rating for the Blue Sea Systems 5187 terminal fuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 5187 safe for gasoline powered boats?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 5187 is ignition protected, meaning it is safe to install aboard gasoline powered boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if the 5187 fuse has blown?\u003c\/strong\u003e The fuse has a clear window that gives a visible indication of a blown condition, so it can be checked without removing it from the fuse block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat interrupt current rating does the 5187 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e 10,000 amps at 14 volts DC is the interrupt current (AIC) rating of the Blue Sea Systems 5187, which satisfies ABYC requirements for DC main circuit protection on large battery banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 5187 terminal fuse housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing of the Blue Sea Systems 5187 is plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Blue Sea Systems 5187 waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e It carries an IP66 rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for open marine mounting locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of the 5187 fuse?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5187 measures 4 x 3 x 1 inches and weighs 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mounting style of the Blue Sea Systems 5187?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5187 uses a through-hole mount and is designed to install into a compatible Terminal Fuse Block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the 5187 need a separate fuse block instead of mounting on the battery post?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5187 terminal fuse is designed to be held in a Terminal Fuse Block (PN 5191 or 2151) rather than bolted directly to a battery terminal, which keeps the connection secure and protects the fuse housing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989503881435,"sku":"BSS-5187","price":20.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/5187.jpg?v=1784507099","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/blue-sea-systems-5187-200a-terminal-fuse-blue-58v-dc-ip66-ignition-protected-dc-main-battery-bank-protection-abyc","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
