Detailed description

Designed for protecting electrical circuits in marine environments, the BLUE SEA 5056100-BSS waterproof ST Blade fuse block with cover provides a compact solution for ATO/ATC-style fuses and low-profile circuit breakers. This model stands out for its ABYC compliance thanks to its yellow knurled thumb-screw cover, allowing quick tool-free access to the fuses.

Waterproof and Versatile Protection

With an IP66 waterproof rating when mounted and its gasket in place, this fuse block resists powerful water jets and spray, ensuring reliable circuit protection. It supports a maximum voltage of 32V DC and a maximum current of 80A per block, with 25A per circuit. It accepts a wide range of wire sizes, from 8 AWG to 4 AWG for the input and from 16 AWG to 10 AWG for the four load outputs, via #8-32 screw terminals and a #10-32 stud. The tinned copper C11000 bus bars and fuse clips ensure stable conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Easy Integration and Maintenance

The 5056100-BSS fuse block integrates with ST-Blade waterproof fuse blocks (models 5056 or 5056100) and 100A waterproof bus bars (models 2356 or 2356100) from the same range for modular installations. Integral grommets maintain waterproofing even if fewer than four loads are used. The cover includes a storage space for spare fuses and fasteners. Unlike the 5056 model, which requires a tool for access, the 5056100-BSS, with its manual cover, meets ABYC standards E-11.4.27 and E-11.9.1.2 for quick, tool-free access to protective devices. Four inscriptible circuit labels are included for clear circuit identification.

« Technical analysis of the BLUE SEA ST Blade 5056100-BSS sealed fuse block »

The BLUE SEA ST Blade 5056100-BSS fuse block is a premium solution for protecting secondary circuits on boats exposed to wet environments. Its IP66-rated design, CE-certified, makes it particularly suitable for installations in cockpits, exposed lockers subject to spray, or open helm consoles where moisture is constant. The key differentiator of this model is its yellow knurled-screw cover, allowing quick, tool-free access to the fuses. This feature is critical in emergency situations at sea, where every second counts to identify and replace a blown fuse, and meets ABYC requirements for accessible distribution panels.

From an installation standpoint, compatibility with standard ring or fork terminals simplifies wiring significantly, reducing time and complexity. The ability to use wires of varying gauges (up to 4 AWG on the input side and 10 AWG on the load side) provides useful flexibility to accommodate different power requirements. It is important to note that this block is ideal for protecting four separate circuits, such as deck lighting, secondary bilge pumps, or auxiliary instruments. For larger distribution needs or higher-power circuits, it is recommended to pair it with the same BLUE SEA range’s 100A busbars, such as model 2356100, for a consistent and resilient electrical architecture. The integrated space for spare fuses under the cover is a practical detail that prevents loss and ensures availability when needed.
