Blue Sea Systems Short Stop 20 Amp DC Circuit Breaker, Panel Mount, Part 7153

The Blue Sea Systems Short Stop 7153 is a 20 amp DC circuit breaker built to protect marine electrical circuits from overload and short-circuit conditions. Rated for 28 Volts DC with an interrupt capacity of 2500 amps at 28V DC, it is sized to handle the fault currents typical of onboard 12V and 24V DC systems. The breaker uses push-to-reset operation, meaning it only disconnects when tripped and will not reset itself automatically, giving the operator direct control over when a circuit is restored after a fault.

Construction uses corrosion resistant materials suited to withstand the harsh marine environment, and the unit ships with a red insulating boot installed that carries an IP64 water resistance rating, shielding the terminal from dust and splashing water. It mounts as a single-pole, panel mount breaker, making it a straightforward install or replacement for a single DC circuit on a boat's electrical panel. At 0.06 pounds, it is a compact component intended for panel-level circuit protection rather than a main disconnect.
