Blue Sea 12 Circuit Blade Fuse Block with Negative Bus & Cover
The Blue Sea Systems ST Blade Fuse Block – 12 Circuits with Negative Bus & Cover is a premium marine-grade DC fuse distribution panel designed to provide safe, organised, and reliable electrical protection for boats, yachts, caravans, RVs, and off-grid power systems. Featuring 12 individually fused circuits, an integrated negative bus, and a durable snap-on insulating cover, this fuse block simplifies wiring while delivering professional-grade circuit protection for 12V and 24V DC installations.
Engineered for harsh marine environments, the fuse block uses tin-plated copper buses and fuse clips for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance. It accepts standard ATO®/ATC® blade fuses, making replacements simple and readily available throughout New Zealand. Each circuit can be clearly labelled for easy identification, while the transparent cover protects against accidental short circuits and helps keep moisture and debris away from electrical connections.
Rated for 100 amps total capacity and 30 amps per individual circuit, the ST Blade Fuse Block is ideal for distributing power to navigation lights, bilge pumps, electronics, VHF radios, chartplotters, lighting, refrigerators, USB outlets, and other onboard accessories. Its integrated negative bus eliminates the need for a separate grounding bus, reducing wiring clutter and making installation quicker and more professional.
Whether you're rewiring an existing boat or building a new electrical system, the Blue Sea Systems 12 Circuit Fuse Block delivers the reliability and safety trusted by marine professionals worldwide.
