Cooper Bussmann GDB-1.6A Cartridge Fast-acting Fuse 1.6A

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN GDB-1.6A is a glass-body, fast-acting cartridge fuse rated at 1.6 amps. Sized at 20 mm overall length and 5 mm diameter, this mini cartridge fuse provides overcurrent protection in low-current circuits where rapid response to fault conditions is required. The glass body allows for visual inspection of the fuse element without removal. Licensed electricians and electronics technicians install this type of fuse in control boards, instrumentation panels, and low-voltage equipment where IEC 60127-2 and UL Recognized component standards apply.

The GDB-1.6A is suited for residential and commercial control circuit applications, including HVAC equipment control boards, electronic instrumentation, and industrial automation panels. Its mini cartridge form factor is common in European-standard and IEC-rated equipment. The fast-acting response time makes it appropriate for circuits without high inrush loads, where immediate interruption on overload is the design intent.

Key Features

• Fast-acting fuse timing for immediate overcurrent interruption
• Glass cartridge body allows visual fuse element inspection
• Mini form factor: 20 mm overall length, 5 mm diameter
• Rated 1.6 amps for precise low-current circuit protection
• Meets IEC 60127-2, cURus, CE, RoHS, CCC, IMQ, SEMKO, BSI, and UL Recognized standards (Guide JDYX2, File E19180)

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-replacement mini glass cartridge fuse for IEC 60127-2 compliant fuse holders accepting a 20 mm x 5 mm cartridge body rated at 1.6 amps fast-acting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or technician. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Verify the replacement fuse rating matches the original specification exactly — substituting a higher-rated fuse can damage downstream components and create a hazard. Use an appropriate fuse puller for mini cartridge fuse holders to avoid damage to the fuse body or holder contacts.
