Cooper Bussmann BP/GMC-5 Time Lag Fuse 5A 125V 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/GMC-5 is a Type GMC time lag fuse rated at 5 amps and 125 volts, packaged in a carded 2-pack. The glass tube body measures 5 mm in diameter by 20 mm in length, conforming to the standard IEC metric form factor common in European-style equipment and select North American devices. The time lag design allows brief inrush currents to pass without nuisance opening, while still protecting downstream components from sustained overloads. Electricians and electronics technicians keep this fuse on hand for servicing meters, undercabinet lighting fixtures, and imported equipment that requires the metric glass tube form factor.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where IEC-style 5 mm x 20 mm fusing is specified. Typical installation scenarios include replacing blown protective fuses in Westek halogen undercabinet lighting units, panel meters, test instruments, and other European or European-style devices wired for 125-volt service. The carded 2-pack format is practical for service calls where a spare on hand prevents a return trip.

Installation Notes

Confirm the replacement fuse matches the original amperage and voltage ratings stamped on the equipment label. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse or bypass the fuse holder.
