Road vehicles - Circuit breakers - Part 3: Miniature circuit breakers with tabs (Blade type), Form CB11

ISO 10924-3:2015 specifies miniature circuit breakers with tabs (blade-type), Form CB11 for use in road vehicles. It establishes, for this circuit breaker form, the rated current, test procedures, performance requirements and dimensions. ISO 10924-3:2015 is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 10924‑1 and with ISO 10924‑2. The numbering of its clauses corresponds to that of ISO 10924‑1 whose requirements are applicable, except where modified by requirements particular to this part of ISO 10924. ISO 10924-3:2015 is applicable to circuit breakers with a rated voltage of 14 V and/or 28 V, a current rating of ≤30 A and a breaking capacity of 2 000 A intended for use in road vehicles with a nominal voltage of 12 V and/or 24 V. The circuit breakers are different in dimensions and functions, such as electrically reset, automatic reset, manual reset, and switchable. NOTE This type of circuit breaker is intended to be used in similar applications as miniature fuse-links according to ISO 8820‑3. While the tab dimensions and current ratings can be the same, there might be differences in performance which the user of these products is advised to consider.

Overview

ISO 10924-3:2015 - Road vehicles - Circuit breakers - Part 3: Miniature circuit breakers with tabs (Blade type), Form CB11 - specifies performance, dimensions and test procedures for blade-type miniature circuit breakers used in road vehicles. It applies to breakers with rated voltages of 14 V and/or 28 V, current ratings up to 30 A, and an absolute breaking capacity of 2 000 A, intended for nominal 12 V and/or 24 V vehicle electrical systems. This part is to be used together with ISO 10924‑1 (definitions and general tests) and ISO 10924‑2 (user’s guide).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & form factor: Defines Form CB11 blade/tab miniature circuit breakers including electrically reset, automatic reset, manual reset and switchable variants.
  • Rated values: Rated voltage 14/28 V; current ratings ≤ 30 A; breaking capacity up to 2 000 A.
  • Dimensions & designation: Standardized tab dimensions and part designation examples for compatibility with blade-type fuse installations.
  • Test methods and sequence: Detailed test sequence plan covering:
    • Voltage drop measurement (at 0.7·IR across tabs) and maximum permitted millivolt drops per rating.
    • Operating time‑rating and time‑current characteristics at multiple test currents (e.g., 0.7 I R, 1.0 I R, 1.35 I R, 2.0 I R).
    • Absolute and rated breaking capacity tests (tested at 2 000 A).
    • Endurance, dielectric strength, terminal mechanical strength, and environmental tests (climatic, vibration, shock, free-fall, chemical).
  • Environmental class: Ambient temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C (Code G, per ISO 16750‑4).
  • Test cable sizes: Recommended test conductor cross-sections per rated current (e.g., 5 A → 0.5 mm², 30 A → 4.0 mm²) to ensure consistent comparative testing.

Practical applications and users

ISO 10924-3 is intended for:

  • Automotive OEMs specifying in-vehicle overcurrent protection for 12 V/24 V systems.
  • Component manufacturers designing and certifying blade-type miniature circuit breakers (Form CB11).
  • Supplier quality and test laboratories performing certification and comparative testing.
  • Electrical system engineers replacing or substituting miniature fuse-links (see ISO 8820‑3) with circuit breakers while assessing differences in performance. Use cases include protection of lighting, infotainment, sensors, body-control modules and other low-voltage vehicle circuits where compact, resettable protection is required.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
