Blue Sea 12V 10A Panel 360 8-Position CLB Vertical Distribution Panel
Blue Sea 12V 10A Panel 360 8-Position CLB Vertical Distribution Panel
Push-to-Reset Thermal Breakers, Rocker Switches & 4205 Label Set

DESCRIPTION
Modular 12V DC Circuit Protection and Control for Marine and Off-Grid Systems
Managing multiple electrical circuits in demanding marine, caravan, or off-grid environments requires a clean, organised, and dependable interface. The Blue Sea Systems 8-Position Vertical Distribution Panel (BS-1457) is part of the renowned 360 Panel System, engineered to consolidate your 12V DC switching and overcurrent protection into one streamlined, professional-grade unit. Designed for installers and system builders who prioritise electrical safety and clean dash or bulkhead aesthetics, this vertical panel replaces cluttered fuse blocks and standalone switches with a unified, easy-to-service module.
Integrated Thermal Circuit Breakers and Rocker Switches
Unlike standard fuse panels that require carrying spare blade fuses and fiddling with small components in the dark, this distribution panel utilises integrated CLB push-to-reset thermal circuit breakers paired with dedicated ON-OFF rocker switches. Each of the eight positions is equipped with a 10A breaker to protect your wiring and connected appliances from overcurrent and short-circuit events. If a fault occurs, the breaker trips to isolate the circuit; once the issue is resolved, simply push the button to restore power. The tactile rocker switches provide positive, reliable control over your essential 12V loads, from bilge pumps and navigation equipment to cabin lighting and refrigeration.
Key Features and Benefits
- 8-Position Vertical Layout: Optimises console, helm, and cabinet space while keeping circuit control logical and accessible.
- Push-to-Reset CLB Breakers: Eliminates the need for replacement fuses with reliable thermal overcurrent protection rated at 10A per circuit.
- Dedicated Rocker Switches: Allows independent manual switching of eight separate 12V DC loads without wearing out the circuit breaker mechanism.
- Backlit Square Format Labels: Enhances visibility in low-light cabins or night navigation, supplied with the 4205-Square Format Label Set for custom circuit identification.
- Modular 360 Panel Architecture: Integrates seamlessly alongside other Blue Sea Systems 360 series modules for scalable electrical system design.
- Optional Metering Compatibility: The broader 360 Panel series supports voltmeter and ammeter configurations, though please note this specific BS-1457 unit is a dedicated 8-position switch and breaker panel without built-in meters.
Why Upgrade to a Blue Sea 360 Distribution Panel?
Inferior switch panels often suffer from exposed rear terminals, flimsy plastic faceplates, and unreliable fuse holders that corrode or vibrate loose in rough conditions. These vulnerabilities can lead to voltage drop, intermittent power loss, or hazardous thermal events behind your dashboard. The Blue Sea Systems 360 platform mitigates these risks through robust construction, secure terminal connections, and clear circuit labelling. By separating the switching action (via the rocker switch) from the overcurrent protection (via the CLB breaker), the panel reduces mechanical wear on the safety components, ensuring long-term operational integrity in high-vibration marine and 4WD applications.
Customisable and Ready for Installation
To ensure your electrical installation is intuitive for anyone onboard or in the vehicle, the unit comes complete with the Blue Sea 4205-Square Format Label Set. These durable, backlit-compatible labels allow you to clearly mark each of the eight circuits for specific marine or RV appliances. Note that while some wider 360 Panel configurations include integrated voltmeters, ammeters, and three-bank battery toggle switches, this vertical 8-position model focuses purely on compact circuit distribution and switching.
Upgrade Your 12V Electrical Distribution
Bring professional-grade circuit protection and clean organisation to your vessel, caravan, or off-grid canopy. Add the Blue Sea 8-Position CLB Vertical Distribution Panel to your system build today for reliable, fuse-free 12V power management.
