Cooper Bussmann BP/MDL-5 Time Delay Glass Fuse 5A 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-5 is a time-delay, glass tube fuse rated at 5 amps and 250 volts, sold in a 2-pack carded format. MDL-type fuses are designed for electronic and electrical equipment that draws a brief inrush current at startup, making the time-delay characteristic critical for avoiding nuisance opens. The glass tube body allows visual inspection of the element without removing the fuse from the holder. This fuse is installed by licensed electricians, electronics technicians, and HVAC service professionals working on low-voltage and line-voltage control circuits.

MDL-type fuses are commonly found in electronic control panels, HVAC equipment control boards, small appliances, instruments, and other devices requiring overcurrent protection with a time-delay characteristic. The 5-amp, 250-volt rating suits a wide range of light commercial and residential electronic applications. The carded 2-pack format is suited for service technicians carrying spares or for counter sales at supply houses.

Installation Notes

Fuse replacement should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before replacing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the original amp and voltage rating exactly — never substitute a higher-rated fuse. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's wiring diagram and applicable NEC guidelines when servicing overcurrent protection devices.
