Frequently Asked Questions

What is BRIC mini?

BRIC (Breathable & Robust Interconnection Center) is Chief's family of sealed power distribution modules. BRIC mini is the compact member of the BRIC family, providing sealed power distribution for space-constrained OEM applications using ATM fuses, micro relays, and other 280-series components.

How many cavities does BRIC mini have?

BRIC mini is a 12-cavity sealed module.

What components can BRIC mini house?

BRIC mini supports ATM fuses, micro relays, ATM circuit breakers, and similar 280 series plug-in electrical components.

What applications is BRIC mini designed for?

BRIC mini is commonly used in agricultural equipment, construction equipment, and powersports applications where compact sealed power distribution is needed.

What terminal system does BRIC mini use?

BRIC mini uses the TE MCP 2.8 terminal system.

Is BRIC mini available with a hydrophobic vent?

Yes. BRIC mini bases are available with and without a hydrophobic vent. The vent helps relieve pressure differentials caused by component heating.

What are the rotated cavity versions used for?

Rotated 6 and 12 cavity versions are used to improve wire exit orientation and packaging flexibility in space-constrained applications.

What is the ingress protection rating?

BRIC mini is designed to support IP67 water and dust ingress protection when properly configured and assembled.

What is the maximum current capacity?

BRIC mini supports up to 120A continuous current per PDM, with 30A intermittent and 20A continuous current per terminal subject to temperature derating.

What accessories are available?

Available options include TPA, tether/CPA, custom labels, compatible covers and anti-backout foam.
