Value Collection BD-KP4559 Cartridge Fast-acting Fuse 5A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-KP4559 is a fast-acting cartridge fuse rated at 5 amps and 250 volts, packaged in a quantity of 5. Built in a miniature form factor, it measures 20 mm (approximately 0.79 inches) in overall length and 5 mm (approximately 0.20 inches) in diameter. The body is constructed of ceramic and glass, materials well suited to handling the thermal stress of a rapid overcurrent event. This fuse is designed for fuse-holder mounting and is commonly installed by electricians and electronics technicians in control circuits, instrumentation panels, and light commercial equipment where fast fault clearing is required to protect sensitive downstream components.

This fuse is suited for low-voltage control circuits, small appliances, HVAC control boards, and electronic test equipment operating at or below 250 volts AC. The miniature 5x20 mm cartridge format is a widely adopted international standard, making it a practical replacement or service-stock item for facilities and service fleets that maintain a range of equipment with IEC-style fuse holders. Each package contains 5 fuses, which supports standard bench-stock replenishment practices.

Key Features

• Fast-acting fuse timing for immediate response to overcurrent faults
• 5-amp rating at 250 volts for low-voltage control and instrumentation circuits
• Miniature 5x20 mm cartridge body fits standard IEC-style fuse holders
• Ceramic and glass construction handles thermal stress during fault clearing
• IEC 127-SI rated, SEMKO approved, and UL Recognized under Guide JDYX2 File E75865
• Sold in packs of 5 for efficient bench-stock or service-truck inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 5x20 mm fuse holders across a wide range of control circuits, instrumentation equipment, and light commercial electrical assemblies requiring a 5-amp fast-acting IEC-style fuse.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize and verify zero voltage on the circuit before replacing a fuse. This fuse is intended for fuse-holder mounting and should be installed by a qualified electrician or technician following applicable NEC guidelines and equipment manufacturer instructions. Do not substitute a fuse with a higher amperage rating than the circuit is designed for, as this defeats the overcurrent protection. Inspect the fuse holder contacts for corrosion or damage before seating the replacement fuse.
