Introducing the BRIC Maxi Family: Power Distribution Built Smarter

Published by Chief Enterprises on Jul 17th 2025

At Chief Enterprises, our goal is to push the boundaries of hardwired power distribution for on and off-road industries. And this is truly the case with our new BRIC Maxi family, a line of single-body power distribution modules (PDMs) designed to simplify high current applications without compromising on performance. Built to mitigate complexity and reduce installation time, the BRIC Maxi fits naturally into modern-day electrical systems.

What is the BRIC Maxi Family?

The Maxi family is designed to address challenges with space requirements and high labor times for high-current PDMs. While many competitive offerings require ultrasonic welding to secure custom layouts, the BRIC Maxi’s one–piece design is able to reduce weight and assembly time,  as well as potential failure points. Its smart, customizable layout allows integration with various OEM applications and maintains full compatibility with trusted BRIC components, such as:

  • Covers
  • Cover position assurance
  • Hydrophobic vents
  • TE MCP & Aptiv Metri-Pack 800 Terminals
  • Optional External & Internal TPAs

Core Components & Functionality

At the core of the BRIC Maxi family is a highly flexible cavity layout that fits a range of power distribution components. Each configuration supports high-amp functionality with the option to house Maxi or 280-style relays with ATM, ATO, or Maxi fuses. This compact module eliminates the need for secondary housing or split modules, consolidating both circuit protection and control in one location.

Configurations Available

Offered in various layout options, each BRIC Maxi configuration is built to optimize space and function within a system, and increase production efficiency. Our Maxi line includes:

  • ATO Combo – 60 ATM cavities with 7 ATO fuse positions, providing fuse support in a compact footprint. (Available Now)

  • Combo Maxi – 54 ATM cavities with 1 Maxi relay and 2 Maxi fuses, delivering both switching and protection in one body. (Available November 2025)

  • Quadra Maxi - 54 ATM Cavities and 4 Maxi fuse slots, ideal for high-load systems (Available November 2025)

Cover Options & Accessories

The Maxi modules are fully compatible with BRIC accessories, engineered to meet the demands of harsh and high-vibration environments. Competitive features include an IP67-rated cover with hydrophobic venting and laser marking for traceability, tethering, diode keys, mounting brackets, and custom labeling offer OEMs additional flexibility.

Competitive Advantages

The BRIC Maxi Family was engineered to not only simplify power distribution, but to give OEMs a smarter, more scalable solution. Here are the key advantages that set it apart:

  • One-piece housing (No ultrasonic welding)
  • Compact layout supports high-current relays and fuses
  • IP67-rated sealing with optional hydrophobic vent
  • One-handed cover release
  • M6 steel mounting threads
  • Optional laser marking
  • Quick sample turnaround
  • Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
  • Full compatibility with BRIC accessories and terminal systems
