It features a glass tube body with nickel-plated brass endcaps and measures 0.25 inches in diameter by 1.25 inches in length, conforming to the standard MDL form factor. The time-delay characteristic allows brief inrush currents to pass without nuisance tripping, making it well suited for motor loads, transformers, and sensitive electronic equipment. Electricians and electronics technicians install this fuse as both an OEM replacement and a service part in control panels, instrumentation, and low-amperage branch circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fuse is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a 1\/4 by 1-1\/4 inch MDL-style time-delay fuse is required. Common installations include motor control equipment, HVAC control boards, small appliance protection circuits, and electronic test instruments. Its 250-volt AC rating covers the vast majority of single-phase low-voltage control circuit applications. The interrupting rating of 200 AIC at 250 VAC and 10,000 AIC at 125 VAC provides the fault-clearing capacity appropriate for these circuit types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTime-delay action tolerates motor inrush and capacitive load surges without nuisance opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlass tube body allows visual inspection of the fuse element without removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass endcaps resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance in fuse holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterrupting rating of 200 AIC at 250 VAC and 10,000 AIC at 125 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed under standard 248-14, covering MDL sizes 1\/16 through 8 amps (Guide JDYX, File E19180)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCSA Certified for MDL sizes 1\/16 through 8 amps (Class No. 1422-01)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct replacement for any standard MDL 1\/4 by 1-1\/4 inch time-delay glass tube fuse position rated at 5 amps and 250 volts AC.

Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the original ampere rating, voltage rating, and physical size before installing. Do not substitute a fuse with a higher ampere rating, as this defeats overcurrent protection for the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmpere Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating (AC)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 volts AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuse Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Time Delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Glass tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEndcap Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel-plated brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches diameter x 1.25 inches length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupting Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200 AIC at 250 VAC; 10,000 AIC at 125 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUL Listing\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 248-14, Guide JDYX, File E19180 (MDL 1\/16 - 8A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCSA Certification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class No. 1422-01 (MDL 1\/16 - 8A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EATON BUSSMANN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: mdl-5-r\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EATON BUSSMANN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268714725682,"sku":"MDL-5-R","price":296.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308910596.png?v=1780705008","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eaton-bussmann-mdl-5-r-time-delay-glass-fuse-5a-250v","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
