Sea-Dog SD-13 3A Thermal Circuit Breaker | 830150
Sea-Dog SD-13 3A Thermal Circuit Breaker | 830150 — Product description
The Sea-Dog SD-13 is a 3 amp push-to-reset thermal breaker built for low-draw marine circuits. It's ignition protected to UL1500, so it's safe to mount near fuel or in an engine space. Panel mounts with 1/4 inch quick connect terminals and only needs 3/16 inch of depth behind the dash.
The Sea-Dog SD-13 is a 3 amp thermal circuit breaker, and it's the one you reach for when a circuit draws light. Think nav lights, a bilge blower, a small electronics feed, or an accessory switch that doesn't pull much current. Push-to-reset means that if the breaker trips, you just push the white button back in once the fault clears. No fuse to dig out of a drawer, no spare to carry.
What makes this one worth having on a boat is the safety rating. It's ignition protected to UL1500, so you can mount it near fuel systems or inside an engine compartment without worrying about a spark. It's also UL 1077 and UL/cUL listed. The body is Bakelite, which handles heat well and won't warp behind a warm dash.
It drops into a panel with 1/4 inch quick connect terminals, so wiring it in is fast. You only need 3/16 inch of depth behind the panel, which helps on tight consoles. Rated for 250 volts AC or 50 volts DC. This is the single breaker, not a multi-pack.

Frequently asked questions
What's the 3 amp breaker good for?
Low-draw circuits. Nav lights, a bilge blower, a small electronics feed, or an accessory switch. If a circuit pulls more than about 3 amps steady, step up to a higher rating.
Is it safe to mount near the engine or fuel?
Yes. It's ignition protected to UL1500, which means it won't throw a spark that could ignite fuel vapor. That's why it's rated for engine compartments and fuel-system areas.
How does push-to-reset work?
When the breaker trips on an overload, the white button pops out. Fix the fault, let it cool for a second, then push the button back in. No fuse to swap.
What voltage can it handle?
It's rated for 250 volts AC or 50 volts DC, so it covers standard 12 and 24 volt DC boat systems with plenty of margin.
