Trac Outdoors Digital Circuit Breaker with Display, 30-60 Amp, 12 Volt, Waterproof, Part 69402
The Trac Outdoors Digital Circuit Breaker with Display (part 69402) is a solid-state 12 volt circuit breaker built to replace inaccurate thermal breakers with a microprocessor-controlled design. It continuously monitors voltage and current in real time, interrupting the circuit at a precise, user-selectable amperage between 30 and 60 amps rather than relying on the loose tolerances of a bimetallic thermal strip. Buyers can choose Manual Reset, Auto-Reset, or Off mode to match how the protected circuit is used, and the built-in Surge Compensation lets the breaker ride through the short current spikes that are normal when an electric motor starts up, so it will not nuisance-trip a winch, pump, or trolling motor circuit under a momentary load.
A high-brightness LED display is built into the housing for daylight-readable status at a glance, and the circuit-interrupt LED flashes intermittently whenever the circuit has been broken, making it easy to spot a tripped breaker without testing with a meter. The entire unit is completely sealed and waterproof, matching the demands of an open boat or bilge-area installation, and it is a single-pole breaker rated for 12 volt DC systems. It ships as a single circuit breaker unit with a one year manufacturer warranty and is designed as a universal-fit component for 12 volt marine electrical circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What amperage range does the Trac Outdoors 69402 circuit breaker cover? It is user-selectable across a 30 to 60 amp range, so the same breaker (part 69402) can be dialed in to the precise trip point a given 12 volt circuit needs instead of being fixed at one amperage like a thermal breaker.
Is this breaker digital or a traditional thermal breaker? It uses a solid-state, microprocessor-controlled design rather than a thermal element, which is why Trac Outdoors part 69402 can hold a much more precise and repeatable trip point than a bimetallic thermal breaker.
Will it trip nuisance faults when a motor starts up? No, the 69402 includes Surge Compensation that lets it monitor amperage and tolerate the short current surges common when electric motors start, so normal startup current will not falsely trip the circuit.
What reset modes are available? The breaker offers three user-selectable modes: Manual Reset, Auto-Reset, or Off, letting the installer choose whether the circuit restores itself automatically after a fault or requires a manual reset.
How can I tell if the breaker has tripped? Part 69402 has a circuit-interrupt LED that flashes intermittently whenever the circuit has been broken, plus a high-brightness illuminated display that is readable even in daylight.
Is the Trac Outdoors 69402 waterproof? Yes, the unit is completely sealed and waterproof, which suits mounting in exposed boat or bilge-area locations.
What voltage and pole configuration does it use? It is a single-pole breaker rated for 12 volt DC circuits, sold as part 69402.
What are the dimensions and weight of this circuit breaker? The Trac Outdoors 69402 measures 3.6 inches deep by 2.3 inches wide by 2.3 inches high and weighs 0.4 pounds.
What is included when I order part 69402? The package includes one Trac Outdoors Digital Circuit Breaker with Display; no additional accessories are included.
Does this circuit breaker fit a specific boat make or model? The 69402 is a universal-fit 12 volt circuit breaker, intended for general marine electrical circuit protection rather than one specific make or model.
What warranty comes with the Trac Outdoors 69402? It carries a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
How is this different from a standard thermal circuit breaker? Unlike a standard thermal breaker, the 69402 uses solid-state monitoring of voltage and current in real time, giving it a more accurate, user-selectable trip point plus Surge Compensation and reset-mode options that a purely thermal design does not offer.
