About this product
Carling A-Series AM2 15A double-pole hydraulic-magnetic supplementary protector with a sealed metal toggle. MPN AM2-B0-56-615-501-I. UL 1077 and UL 1500 Recognized (ignition protected); CSA Accepted.
AM2-B0-56-615-501-I is a Carling A-Series 15A double-pole hydraulic-magnetic component supplementary protector with a sealed metal toggle. Its complete ordering identity, rather than the family limits alone, should be used for selection.

Warranty
Backed by the original manufacturer’s warranty plus our workmanship guarantee on assembled harnesses. Contact us with your invoice and we’ll coordinate any covered repair or replacement.
Read the full warranty termsInstallation guidance
These notes are a starting point. They cover the common considerations for a marine install — they don't replace a project review against your specific boat, helm, and circuit list.
- Disconnect the battery and verify zero voltage at the working point before cutting or splicing.
- Match wire gauge to the breaker and the run length, not just to the load.
- Use marine-rated, tinned terminals and seal every crimp against moisture and vibration.
- Route conductors clear of heat sources and protect them where they pass through bulkheads.
Technical support
Need help choosing the right part?
Our marine electrical team can review your setup and recommend compatible products. Send a photo, a sketch, or your circuit list and we'll come back with a parts list that fits the boat.
Certifications & training
- ABYC-aware build practices
- OEM-grade marine wire & terminals
Additional capabilities are based on hands-on experience building marine wiring systems rather than third-party certification.
