Blue Sea Systems 360 Panel DC Branch Circuit Breaker Panel, 12V, Dual USB 4.8A, 12V Dash Socket

Overview

The Blue Sea Systems 360 Panel is a 12V DC branch circuit breaker panel range that combines circuit protection with a dual USB charger and a 12V dash socket for organized onboard power distribution. It is used to take power from a higher-amperage DC feed and divide it into protected lower-amperage circuits, which makes it useful at a helm, cabin control station, electronics area, or small accessory panel.

Both configurations share the same panel size, measuring 7.75 in x 4.88 in x 3.5 in, or 196.85 mm x 123.95 mm x 88.9 mm. The integrated dual USB charger is rated for 12V or 24V input and 4.8A output, while the panel itself is a nominal 12V DC panel with a 12V dash socket for compatible accessories.

The 360 Panel format keeps switching, circuit protection, USB charging, and a socket in one clean location, reducing the need for separate accessory cutouts. ON-indicating LEDs and backlit label positions help make circuit status and labeling easier to read during night running, early starts, or work in shaded areas below deck.

Key features

• 12V DC branch circuit breaker panel for distributing a main DC feed into protected accessory circuits.
• Available in 4-position and 8-position configurations for different circuit counts.
• Integrated dual USB charger rated for 12V or 24V input with 4.8A output.
• Includes a 12V dash socket for powering compatible onboard accessories.
• 15A circuit protection on each switched circuit, with breaker style varying by configuration.
• ON-indicating LEDs give quick visual feedback when circuits are active.
• Backlit label positions improve circuit identification in low light.
• Shared panel dimensions of 7.75 in x 4.88 in x 3.5 in help with cutout planning and replacement checks.

Variants

This 360 Panel is offered in two configurations based on the number of protected circuit positions.

The main differences are the position count, maximum panel amperage, and breaker style. Both variants are nominal 12V DC panels with an integrated dual USB charger, a 12V dash socket, ON-indicating LEDs, backlit label positions, and the same overall dimensions.

• 1495: 4 positions. This version uses four 15A A-Series circuit breakers and has a maximum amperage of 100A, giving smaller DC installations a compact panel with charging and accessory power built in.
• 1498: 8 positions. This version uses eight 15A push-button circuit breakers and has a maximum amperage of 90A, giving more branch circuits in the same panel footprint for busier helm or accessory layouts.

Installation and fit

Before installation, confirm that the vessel uses a suitable 12V DC panel location and that the available depth can accommodate the 3.5 in panel depth, plus room for wiring bends and service access. The 7.75 in x 4.88 in face size is useful when planning a new cutout or replacing an older accessory panel in a helm console, cabin bulkhead, or protected equipment area.

Because this panel combines breakers, USB charging, and a dash socket, it can simplify accessory wiring when compared with separate switches, chargers, and outlets mounted across different locations. Use properly sized conductors, overcurrent protection for the supply feed, and marine installation practices appropriate for the vessel.

Electrical and system integration

The panel is built around a nominal 12V DC branch circuit layout. Each switched circuit is rated at 15A, so connected loads should be matched to the circuit rating, wire size, and total panel capacity for the selected variant. The USB charger can accept 12V or 24V input, but the panel and dash socket should still be treated as part of a 12V DC panel installation.

This is a practical match for boats that need protected accessory circuits along with convenient charging for phones, tablets, handheld electronics, or other USB-powered gear. It also suits installations where a 12V socket is still needed for plug-in accessories at the helm or inside the cabin.

A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.
