Eaton BP/MDL-1/2 Glass Tube Time-delay Fuse 0.5A 2-pack

Product Description

The EATON BP/MDL-1/2 is a time-delay (slow-blow) MDL-series glass tube fuse rated at 0.5 amps, sold in a 2-pack. Time-delay fuses are designed to tolerate brief inrush currents without opening, making them the correct choice where momentary startup loads would cause a fast-acting fuse to fail prematurely. The glass tube body measures 1.25 inches in length and 0.25 inches in diameter, conforming to the standard MDL form factor. The fuse is UL Listed, confirming it has been evaluated to recognized safety standards for overcurrent protection in low-current electronic circuits.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electronic equipment applications. Typical installations include computers, satellite dish receivers, and general office equipment where slow-blow overcurrent protection is specified. Electricians and electronics technicians select MDL glass fuses when servicing or replacing fuses in equipment that calls out a time-delay fuse in the manufacturer service documentation. The 0.5A rating targets low-current circuits common in signal-level and control-voltage equipment.

Key Features

• Time-delay (slow-blow) action tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance opening
• 0.5A current rating for low-current electronic circuit protection
• Standard MDL glass tube body: 1.25 inches long, 0.25 inches diameter
• UL Listed for recognized overcurrent protection safety standards
• Sold as a 2-pack for convenient on-hand spares

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for equipment requiring a time-delay MDL glass tube fuse rated at 0.5 amps in the standard 1.25-inch by 0.25-inch form factor.

Installation Notes

Fuse replacement should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician. Always power down and de-energize the equipment completely before accessing the fuse holder. Confirm the replacement fuse matches the amperage, voltage rating, and time-delay characteristic specified on the equipment nameplate or in the service manual. Never substitute a fuse with a higher amperage rating or a fast-acting type where a time-delay type is required.
