MINI / ATM Circuit Breakers

Ultra-thin, to fit in tight spaces, they're the smallest automotive circuit breakers on the market and comply with SAE standard J553. Compatible with 280 type fuse blocks using 8.1mm centerline spacing.

Type I - Automatic Reset circuit breakers automatically reset after opening. If the fault or overcurrent condition still exists, the breaker will continue to cycle between ON and OFF positions until the overcurrent problem is corrected. These devices are sometimes called "cycling breakers." Type I/Automatic Reset circuit breakers do not address, or correct, overcurrent or fault conditions. They only react by cycling OFF and ON. Any overcurrent or fault condition that causes a Type I circuit breaker to operate should be corrected as soon as possible. Continued vehicle operation with an overcurrent or fault condition (causing the Type I circuit breaker to cycle) is not recommended.

Type II - Modified Reset circuit breakers will remain “tripped” by an internal resistor (in the OFF position) as long as the circuit is powered. Type II breakers can be reset by turning the circuit off, or by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position. These devices are sometimes called "non-cycling breakers."

Type III - Manual Reset circuit breakers will remain tripped (in the OFF position) until an indicator button or lever is manually reset. Some Type III breakers are available with a switch feature that allows the use of an external button to de-energize the circuit.
