Value Collection BD-216010 Cartridge Fast-acting Fuse 10A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-216010 is a mini cartridge fast-acting fuse rated at 10 amps and 250 volts. The ceramic and glass body measures 20 mm (approximately 0.79 inches) in overall length and 5 mm (approximately 0.20 inches) in diameter, conforming to a standard 5x20mm form factor. Fast-acting fuses respond immediately to overcurrent conditions without intentional delay, protecting sensitive electronic components and circuits from damage. This fuse is designed for use in a fuse holder mount and is sold in a pack of 5. It carries both CSA and UL certifications, making it suitable for installations where listed components are required.

This fuse is used in a wide range of residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where 5x20mm fast-acting protection is required. Common applications include control boards, HVAC equipment control circuits, low-voltage electronics, appliances, and instrumentation panels. Electricians and electronics technicians install this fuse type when replacing blown fuses in fuse holders on control panels or circuit protection assemblies. The 250V rating covers the majority of single-phase North American and international low-voltage circuit applications.

Key Features

• Fast-acting fuse response for immediate overcurrent protection of sensitive circuits
• Standard 5x20mm cartridge form factor fits common panel-mount and inline fuse holders
• Ceramic and glass body construction for reliable thermal and arc management
• Dual-listed: CSA Certified and UL Listed for code-compliant installations
• 250V rating suitable for a broad range of single-phase control and equipment circuits
• Sold in a pack of 5 for stocking service vehicles and panels

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement for standard 5x20mm fast-acting cartridge fuses used in fuse holder mounts across residential, commercial, and light industrial control circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of fuses must be performed by a qualified electrician or authorized service technician. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse, following applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the original amperage, voltage, and fuse timing ratings before inserting into the holder. Never substitute a higher-amperage fuse to bypass a repeated overcurrent condition without first identifying and correcting the root cause.
