Cooper Bussmann BP/MAX-50-RP 50A Maxi Blade Fuse 5-pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MAX-50-RP is a 50-amp maxi blade fuse designed to protect high-current circuits in automotive and light-duty vehicle wiring harnesses. Sold in a 5-pack retail blister, this fuse provides overcurrent protection for circuits that exceed the capacity of standard mini or regular blade fuses. At 50 amps, it is suited for high-draw accessories, primary power distribution feeds, and auxiliary circuits. The maxi blade format is a direct-fit solution for OEM-style fuse holders found in underhood fuse panels and supplementary fuse blocks near the battery. Electricians, automotive technicians, and fleet maintenance professionals routinely install this fuse type during harness repair or circuit protection upgrades.

This fuse is typically located under the hood, mounted in a main fuse panel or a supplementary fuse block positioned close to the battery. It protects wiring harness circuits from overcurrent conditions caused by short circuits or sustained overloads. The maxi blade form factor is widely used in automotive, marine, and light commercial vehicle applications where higher amperage ratings are required but the compact blade-style form must be maintained. Each package contains 5 fuses, making it practical for service shops that perform multiple repairs or want to keep spares on hand.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for maxi blade fuse positions in automotive underhood fuse panels and supplementary fuse blocks near the battery, where a 50-amp maxi blade fuse is specified.

Installation Notes

Automotive technicians and qualified electricians should disconnect the negative battery terminal before servicing any fuse panel to prevent accidental shorts. Always verify the replacement fuse amperage matches the circuit rating specified by the vehicle manufacturer — never substitute a higher-amp fuse to resolve a repeated blow condition. Inspect the fuse holder terminals for corrosion or heat damage before installing a new fuse. A repeated blown fuse indicates an underlying fault in the protected circuit that must be diagnosed before returning the system to service.
