If you're specifying the Victron Blue Smart IP65 24/5 - typically bought from RS Components or Farnell - this is the Pulsar-stocked Mascot part to consider instead.
Blue Smart IP65 24/5
Norwegian-engineered. Stocked in Wokingham. Supported by a UK engineering team.
Engineering specs compared head-to-head. Mascot column is pulled live from the Pulsar catalogue; Victron column is taken from the manufacturer's published datasheet or AI-estimated where the datasheet wasn't accessible. Always verify against the current manufacturer datasheet before design-in.
