Value Collection BD-216005 Cartridge Fast-acting Fuse 5A 125V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-216005 is a mini cartridge fast-acting fuse rated at 5 amps and 125 volts, housed in a ceramic and glass body. It measures 20 mm (approximately 0.79 inches) in overall length and 5 mm (approximately 0.20 inches) in diameter, conforming to the standard 5x20mm form factor widely used in electronics, control circuits, and light electrical equipment. Fast-acting fuses open the circuit rapidly under overload conditions, providing protection against short circuits where no intentional time delay is needed. This fuse is designed for fuse holder mounting and is sold in a package of 5 units.

This fuse is suited for use in low-voltage control boards, small appliances, instrumentation panels, and electronic assemblies where a 5x20mm fast-acting fuse is specified. It is a common replacement fuse type found in HVAC control panels, pool equipment controllers, and similar light-duty electrical applications. The ceramic body construction offers added safety during high-fault interruption compared to standard glass-only bodies.

Key Features

• Fast-acting fuse action for immediate overcurrent protection with no intentional delay
• 5x20mm cartridge form factor fits standard panel-mount and inline fuse holders
• Ceramic and glass body construction for reliable fault containment
• Rated 5 amps at 125 volts for low-voltage control circuit applications
• CSA Certified and UL Listed for use in code-compliant installations
• Package of 5 fuses for stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for any application requiring a 5x20mm fast-acting cartridge fuse rated 5 amps at 125 volts with a compatible fuse holder mount.

Installation Notes

Fuse replacement should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the circuit's required amperage and voltage rating exactly — substituting a higher-rated fuse can defeat overcurrent protection. Use an appropriate fuse puller tool when servicing panel-mounted fuse holders to avoid damage to the holder contacts.
