Bussmann FCB-20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage is the Bussmann FCB-20 automotive circuit breaker rated for?
The FCB-20 is a 20A automotive circuit breaker. That rating has to match the circuit it protects, so use it where the vehicle's original breaker or fuse position calls for 20 amps, not as a step up from a smaller rating to stop nuisance trips.
2) Is the Bussmann FCB-20 a fuse or a resettable breaker?
It's a breaker, not a one-shot fuse. The Type II automotive construction lets the circuit be restored once the fault clears, so a trip doesn't mean replacing the part. That is the practical reason to use it in place of a blade fuse on a circuit that nuisance trips.
3) Will the FCB-20 fit a Ford fuse panel breaker position?
Yes. The FCB-20 is configured for Ford vehicle electrical systems and is sized to drop into Ford fuse and circuit breaker panel positions, which is why it gets used as a direct fit-and-function service replacement on both OEM and aftermarket repair work.
4) What does Type II mean on an automotive circuit breaker like the FCB-20?
Type II refers to the reset behaviour. On the FCB-20 it is an automatic-reset design: the breaker opens on overcurrent and re-closes once the condition clears, rather than needing a manual button push. Pick it where the original equipment used an auto-reset breaker, and look to a manual-reset type if the circuit should stay dead until someone intervenes.
5) What part number should I order for a 20A Ford automotive breaker from Bussmann?
Order Bussmann FCB-20. That is the manufacturer part number for the 20A Type II automotive breaker, and the model is sold as a single configuration, so there are no handing, finish, or terminal options to specify on the order.
6) Can the FCB-20 be mounted under the hood, or is it cabin-only?
Both. The FCB-20 is built as an automotive-grade breaker suited to under-hood and in-cabin electrical environments, so engine-bay harness protection and interior panel positions are both in scope.
7) How much does the Bussmann FCB-20 weigh for shipping and parts-bin stocking?
Half a pound as supplied. That is the packed weight Bussmann publishes for the FCB-20, which matters mainly to fleet and MRO buyers pricing out freight on a multi-unit stocking order.
