Cooper Bussmann ATC-15 Fast Acting Automotive Fuse 15A

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN ATC-15 is a fast-acting automotive blade fuse rated at 15 amps and 32 volts DC. It is designed for overcurrent protection in automotive electrical systems and low-voltage control circuits. The fuse features a polycarbonate housing with zinc terminals and element, finished with tin plating for reliable contact. At 0.75 inches long, the ATC-15 fits standard ATC blade fuse holders and is color-coded blue for quick amperage identification in the field. Licensed electricians, automotive technicians, and HVAC service pros working on low-voltage control wiring install this fuse type routinely.

The ATC-15 is suited for 12-volt and 24-volt automotive and equipment circuits where fast-acting protection is required. Typical applications include vehicle fuse panels, low-voltage control circuit boards, ignition-protected marine and small-engine applications, and mobile HVAC equipment. This fuse meets ISO 8820-3, SAE J1284, and JASO 612 standards covering the 1-40 amp ATC range, making it appropriate for a broad range of equipment governed by those specifications. Cross-reference part numbers from the input data include Littlefuse ATO015 and Ferraz Shawmut AF-15.

Installation Notes

Always disconnect the vehicle battery or de-energize the control circuit before replacing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit protection rating exactly — never substitute a higher-amperage fuse. Use a fuse puller tool when removing blade fuses from tight fuse blocks to avoid bending terminals. Ignition-protected applications should verify compliance with SAE J1171 before installation.
