Cooper Bussmann BP/MDL-2 Glass Tube Fuse 2A 250V 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-2 is a glass tube, time-delay fuse rated at 2 amps and 250 volts, sold as a 2-pack carded retail unit. MDL-type fuses are designed for electronic and instrumentation circuits where a short-duration inrush current must be tolerated without nuisance blowing. The time-delay characteristic allows momentary overloads to pass while still providing reliable overcurrent protection under sustained fault conditions. Electricians, electronics technicians, and HVAC service pros commonly stock MDL fuses for control circuit work, meter protection, and small-appliance repairs.

This fuse is suited for low-current electronic control circuits, instrumentation panels, and light-duty appliance applications operating at or below 250 volts AC. The glass tube body allows visual inspection of the fuse element without removal, speeding up diagnostic work in the field or at the bench. The carded 2-pack format is convenient for service vehicles and tool bags where a spare fuse on hand prevents a repeat service call.

Key Features

• Time-delay (slow-blow) design tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance opens
• Glass tube body enables quick visual inspection of the fuse element
• Rated 2A at 250V for low-current electronic and instrumentation circuits
• MDL type — widely compatible with standard MDL fuse holders and blocks
• Sold as a carded 2-pack for convenient field stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement MDL-type glass tube fuse for electronic control circuits, instrumentation equipment, and light-duty appliances requiring a 2A, 250V time-delay fuse.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse matches the original amperage, voltage rating, and fuse type before installation — substituting a higher-amperage or fast-acting fuse in a time-delay application can result in equipment damage or a fire hazard. Use an appropriate fuse puller when servicing live panel environments to avoid contact with energized components. Fuse replacement in listed equipment should follow NEC guidelines and the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
