Cooper Bussmann MDL-1/16-R Cartridge Time Delay Fuse

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN MDL-1/16-R is a miniature cartridge time delay fuse rated at 0.06 amps for use in low-current electrical circuits requiring overcurrent protection with a delayed trip characteristic. The glass body measures 1.25 inches overall length and 0.25 inches in diameter, conforming to a standard mini fuse form factor. The time delay design allows brief inrush currents to pass without nuisance blowing while still protecting downstream components from sustained overloads. Licensed electricians and electronics technicians install this fuse type in control panels, instrumentation, and sensitive electronic equipment where precise, low-amperage protection is required.

This fuse is suited for residential and commercial control circuit applications where miniature glass cartridge fuses are specified. Typical installation scenarios include low-voltage control boards, test and measurement equipment, HVAC control panels, and industrial instrumentation. The 0.06A rating makes it appropriate for protecting circuits with very low continuous current draw. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Time delay (slow-blow) fuse action tolerates brief inrush without nuisance tripping
• 0.06A (1/16 amp) rating for precision low-current circuit protection
• Glass body construction allows visual inspection of fuse element
• Interrupting rating of 10,000A at 125V and 35A at 250V
• UL Listed (Guide JDYX File E19180) and CE Certified for broad code compliance
• RoHS 2002/95/EC compliant and CSA Class 1422-01 Certified

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for miniature glass cartridge fuse positions requiring a 1/4 inch diameter by 1-1/4 inch length time delay fuse at 0.06A.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Confirm the replacement fuse matches the original amperage, voltage, and time delay rating before installation. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse to resolve repeated blowing — investigate the root cause of the overcurrent condition first.
