Cooper Bussmann BP/GMA-5A 5A Glass Fuse 2 Pack 125V

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/GMA-5A is a fast-acting Type GMA glass fuse rated at 5 amps and 125 volts. Each package contains two fuses sized at 5mm x 20mm, the standard international glass fuse footprint used across a wide range of low-voltage electronic equipment and control circuits. This fuse provides overcurrent protection by opening quickly on fault conditions, limiting damage to downstream components. It is sold in a carded two-pack format, making it a practical choice for technicians who need a backup on hand during service calls. Electricians and electronics technicians are the primary installers.

The BP/GMA-5A is suited for residential and light commercial electronic control boards, instrumentation panels, and low-voltage circuit protection applications. The GMA series glass body fuse is commonly found protecting transformer secondaries, printed circuit boards, and accessory circuits in HVAC controls, pool equipment controllers, and similar electronic systems where a fast-acting, space-efficient fuse is required. The two-pack carded format is designed for retail and trade counter stocking.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-footprint replacement for 5mm x 20mm Type GMA fast-acting glass fuses rated 5A at 125 volts in electronic control and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize and verify zero voltage on the circuit before replacing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse matches the amp rating, voltage rating, and fuse type of the original to avoid nuisance trips or inadequate protection. Do not substitute a higher-rated fuse to resolve repeated fuse failures — identify and correct the underlying fault first.
