{"product_id":"qbp115965","title":"Victron Energy 6-Way MEGA Fuse Holder, Busbar, 250A, 70V DC","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Energy CIP050060000 is a 6-way MEGA fuse holder with an integrated busbar for organizing protected DC circuits in a boat electrical system. It gives up to six MEGA fuse positions in one compact block, so branch circuits can be kept together instead of spread across several separate holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe holder is rated for a maximum current of 250 A and a maximum voltage of 70 VDC, making it suitable for many 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V DC marine power layouts when sized and installed as part of a proper circuit protection plan. Its covered format is useful in battery compartments, technical lockers, and DC distribution areas where clear circuit layout and easy inspection matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit measures 2.0 x 7.2 x 3.5 inches with the cover fitted, or 50.9 x 181.5 x 88 mm. The clear polycarbonate cover lets the fuse positions remain visible, while the black ABS base and tin-plated copper busbar strip give the assembly a practical construction for protected onboard installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix positions for MEGA fuses, allowing multiple DC circuits to be grouped in one fuse holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated tin-plated copper busbar strip, 3 x 18 mm, for a common feed connection across the fuse positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum rating of 250 A and 70 VDC for high-current DC distribution layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch \/ 8 mm terminal diameter for cable lugs commonly used in larger DC battery and distribution cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear polycarbonate cover helps keep the fuse layout visible during inspection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack ABS base with UL 94 V-0 rating and clear polycarbonate cover with UL 94 HB rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended terminal torque is 60 lbf inch \/ 7 Nm for consistent mechanical connection during installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fuse holder should be mounted where the cover can be removed for service and where cable bends can be made without putting stress on the terminals. In a boat, that usually means a protected electrical locker, battery compartment, or DC distribution panel area rather than an exposed deck or bilge location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse correctly sized MEGA fuses for each circuit and match cable size, fuse value, and load current to the vessel’s DC system design. The 8 mm terminal posts suit ring lugs, so clean crimping, proper cable support, and the specified 7 Nm torque are important for keeping resistance and heat under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shared busbar format makes sense when several protected circuits need to be fed from the same DC supply point. Typical onboard examples include distribution feeds for chargers, inverters, DC panels, windlass control circuits, or other high-current equipment, provided each circuit is fused according to its cable and load requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a passive fuse holder, so it does not connect to NMEA networks or monitoring systems by itself. Its role is straightforward circuit protection and distribution organization inside the DC power system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and service access\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tin-plated copper busbar supports efficient current transfer across the holder, while the galvanized steel terminals and hex nuts form the mechanical connection points for the cable lugs and fuses. The clear cover makes it easier to check fuse placement and general condition without disturbing the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor saltwater boats, the holder belongs in a dry, protected location with periodic inspection as part of normal electrical maintenance. Checking terminal tightness, looking for discoloration from heat, and keeping the cover in place all help the installation stay orderly and serviceable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023556964533,"sku":"QBP115965","price":35.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1332236_qbp115965.jpg?v=1780191867","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp115965","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
