Mini Breakers CMB vs CLB

[Will S.]

I have a bad Carling CMB Series 15A Breaker. Are the CLB Series 15A the same thing ?
Thanks..

Does someone know the difference is CMB & CLB series breakers. They appear to be both for marine use, both one push reset & both thermal breakers. There are many more options labeled CLB. The bad breaker in my Alumacraft was a CMB, but I dont know if it was original or not. 
When I find out the difference, I will change out all my breakers. Thanks for your responses.

Will, I could not find a definitive yes on that anywhere. Take it for what it's worth, but DC circuits  was my forte in the corp and on my railroad job. So basically my whole life. After looking at the spec sheets for both. I personally would not have any problem replacing one with the other. Of course keeping the same current rating. The only thing that really stuck out to me is you can get a CLB in higher current capacity. Again you want to stay with what you have on that. And the housing design is a little different.

You could also contact Carling off of there web site.  If someone reads this and disagrees with me. Please share that. No ego when it comes to safety. I am just saying I would be comfortable doing it. Mike

Thanks Mike.. I appreciate your DC experience, I come from The AC High voltage Transmission & Distribution side. (retired).I have not gotten a reply from Carling yet.. Yes, from what my research found was about the same as yours. Thanks for your response !

CMB-Series

Compact, Push-to-reset actuator. Single pole, 3 - 20 amps @ 125-250VAC, 32VDC.

CLB-Series

Push-to-reset actuator. Single pole, 3 - 60 amps @ 125-250VAC, 32VDC.

I  received a reply from CARLING. The breakers are interchangeable. The difference is the capacity. The bigger CLB's are available in hight amps. Project completed.
