10828361

Overview

The Littelfuse/Commercial Vehicle Products part number 10828361 is a manual battery disconnect switch designed for commercial vehicle applications. It provides a direct, operator-actuated means of isolating the main battery from the vehicle electrical system to ensure safety during maintenance, prevent parasitic drain during storage, and mitigate anti-theft risks. This component serves as a primary isolation point within heavy-duty DC power distribution architectures.

Feature Summary

• Provides operator-actuated isolation of the main battery from the vehicle electrical system
• Designed for use in rugged commercial vehicle environments requiring robust switching capabilities
• Supports safety protocols by allowing complete deactivation of electrical power

Applications

• Primary battery isolation in commercial trucks and buses
• Safety shutdown for maintenance personnel on heavy equipment
• Prevention of parasitic load drain during long-term vehicle storage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific current rating, voltage class, and actuator style against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the ingress protection rating meets the operational environmental requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and terminal configurations to avoid integration issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on its role as a manual disconnect rather than an automatic relay. Consider the required continuous current capacity and the preferred actuator mechanism (e.g., key-operated or lever) for the specific installation context. Evaluate the necessary ingress protection level for the mounting location.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse Commercial Vehicle Products portfolio, which supplies electrical protection, switching, control, and power-distribution solutions. These components are engineered for durability and reliability in demanding commercial and industrial vehicle applications, ensuring safe power management across various chassis types.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Littelfuse documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Verify that any replacement maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and actuator interface specifications to ensure seamless integration without modifying existing wiring harnesses or mounting brackets.
