MP is America's leading manufacturer of thermal circuit protection devices. MP was founded in 1943.

Founded in 1943, Mechanical Products Company is America's leading provider of highly engineered circuit protection equipment including Circuit Breakers for Equipment (CBE), and Supplementary Circuit Protectors. We manufacture the highest quality components available for sensing and preventing dangers associated with electrical overloads and overcurrents for a wide variety of products and equipment

. Engineers specify MP circuit breakers to safeguard both people and equipment in numerous markets including: power generation, power storage, medical equipment, defense equipment, appliances, marine equipment and transportation equipment. For over 65 years, MP has distinguished itself through unmatched quality and unparalleled service by exhaustively testing products to the most rigorous limits. Our state of the art electrical testing laboratory ensures that our devices operate in a safe and reliable manner. In its early years, MP focused on developing innovative circuit breaker designs for the Aerospace Industry, which eventually led to MP becoming the exclusive supplier of all flight critical circuit breakers for the Mercury, Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs. MP circuit breakers have literally been to the moon and back many times! From lessons learned during its rigorous beginnings, in the mid 1950s, MP began its development of circuit breakers for commercial applications. In 1998, MP's management team purchased the company. Today, MP remains a privately held company that continues to strengthen its product portfolio of circuit protection devices by offering creative and innovative solutions for the most stringent commercial circuit protection applications.

Salt trucks don’t get a break in the winter — freezing temps, vibration, moisture, and corrosive road spray are constant. That’s why **thermal circuit breaker protection** is critical for reliable operation.

Unlike fuses that require replacement after a fault, thermal circuit breakers provide resettable protection for spreaders, conveyors, pumps, and lighting circuits. When overloaded, they trip based on heat generated by current flow — protecting wiring while minimizing downtime in the field.

In harsh, salt-heavy environments, durability matters:
- Sealed designs to resist moisture and corrosion
- Reliable trip performance in cold temperatures
- Resettable protection to keep trucks on the road

When uptime matters and conditions are brutal, layered circuit protection isn’t optional — it’s essential.

The MP Series 13 product line has expanded — and we’re excited to share the latest addition with you!

We’ve added a 50 Amp configuration, now available with screw terminals, giving you greater flexibility for higher-current DC applications while maintaining the durability and performance you expect from Mechanical Products.
The MP Series 13 features a compact, push-to-reset, weatherproof branch circuit breaker design built for demanding environments where reliable DC protection is critical.

Key features include:
✔ New 50A configuration with screw terminals
✔ Push-to-reset operation
✔ Weatherproof construction
✔ Trip Free design — cannot be held ON during a fault condition
✔ Fits in standard circuit breaker blocks (with QC terminals)
✔ Series 13 is an ideal alternative to Carling CLB & Blue Sea circuit breakers

The “Trip Free” design ensures the breaker cannot be overridden or forced to remain closed during an overload or short circuit — providing an added layer of equipment protection and safety.

This expansion gives OEMs and distributors greater flexibility when specifying higher-current branch circuit protection for marine, industrial, heavy equipment, and specialty vehicle applications.

Our goal has always been to make it easy to Select, Design, and Protect with MP circuit protection devices. Several years ago we partnered with Cadenas Partsolutions to make our 3D CAD models available on our website. Working with the Cadenas team has been awesome! They have something even better to offer. Accessing our 3D CAD on the fly is even easier!

Check out the 3DFindit App. This is a great tool for engineers! Once you have the app you can search Mechanical Products and quickly find the right circuit breaker. Now you can download the MP 3D CAD directly into your CAD program, to your tablet, or even to your phone. Give it a try and lets us know how you like it.
