Sea-Dog SD-13 5A Thermal Circuit Breaker | 830151
Sea-Dog SD-13 5A Thermal Circuit Breaker | 830151 — Product description
The Sea-Dog SD-13 is a 5 amp thermal circuit breaker that protects a low-draw marine circuit and resets with the push of a button. Ignition protected to UL 1500, so it's safe to mount right in an engine or fuel compartment.
The Sea-Dog SD-13 is a simple, honest little circuit breaker that does one job well. It protects a 5 amp circuit, and when it trips, you push the white button to reset it. No fuse to dig out of a drawer, no spare to carry. That's it.
At 5 amps it's sized for the light stuff. Nav lights, a bilge pump, a VHF, an accessory run off the panel. It carries a 250 volt AC and 50 volt DC rating, so it covers any 12, 24, 36, or 48 volt system you'd find on a boat. The 1/4 inch quick connect terminals wire in fast, and the 3/16 inch panel depth means it tucks in behind a tight dash without a fight.
What makes it worth having on a boat is the ignition protection. It's listed to UL 1500, which means you can mount it in an engine bay or near the fuel tank without worrying about a spark. The Bakelite body shrugs off heat and vibration out there.

Frequently asked questions
What should I use a 5 amp breaker for?
Low-draw circuits. Nav lights, a bilge pump, a VHF, or an accessory run off the panel. Match the breaker to the draw of the circuit it's protecting.
Can I mount this near the engine or fuel tank?
Yes. It's ignition protected and listed to UL 1500, so it's safe to mount in an engine bay or fuel compartment where a spark would be a problem.
How does it reset after a trip?
Push-to-reset. When the breaker trips, you just press the white button to restore the circuit. There's nothing to replace.
Will it work on a 12 volt system?
Yep. The 50 volt DC rating covers 12, 24, 36, and 48 volt boat systems.
