Cooper Bussmann BP/MDL-7 Time Delay Glass Fuse 7A 2 Pack

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-7 is a Type MDL time delay glass tube fuse rated at 7 amps and 250 volts. It is sold in a 2-pack carded format, making it a practical choice for service calls and bench stock. The MDL designation indicates a slow-blow design that tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance opening, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection for sensitive electronic circuits and control systems. The glass tube body measures 1/4 inch in diameter by 1-1/4 inches in length, fitting standard fuse holders that accept that size. Electricians and electronics technicians working on low-voltage control boards, HVAC equipment, instruments, and other electronic devices commonly install this fuse type.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electronic applications where time delay overcurrent protection is required. Typical install scenarios include control circuit boards, small motor controls, test equipment, and instrumentation panels that draw moderate inrush current at startup. The 250-volt rating covers most single-phase low-voltage control and electronic circuits. The carded 2-pack format is convenient for field inventory and point-of-sale stocking.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for electronic control circuits requiring a Type MDL time delay fuse in the standard 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before replacing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse matches the circuit's required amperage, voltage, and time delay characteristics before inserting. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse or bypass the fuse holder.
