Description
The COOPER BUSSMANN BP/MDL-6 is a Type MDL glass tube fuse sold in a 2-pack, designed for time-delay overcurrent protection in electronic equipment and low-voltage control circuits. Rated at 6 amps and 250 volts, it provides a built-in delay that tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance tripping while still protecting against sustained overloads. The glass tube body allows visual inspection of the element without specialized tools. Electricians and electronics technicians install this fuse type in control panels, instruments, and light commercial equipment where precise, delayed overcurrent protection is required.
This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial applications where Type MDL time-delay glass tube fuses are specified. Common install scenarios include electronic control boards, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and general-purpose electronic equipment requiring a slow-blow fuse in a standard glass tube form factor. The carded 2-pack format is intended for service and replacement use.
Key Features
- Time-delay action tolerates motor or transformer inrush without nuisance opens
- 6A rating at 250V for low-voltage electronic control circuit protection
- Glass tube body allows quick visual element inspection
- Type MDL form factor for broad compatibility with standard fuse holders
- Carded 2-pack format convenient for service stock
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement for Type MDL glass tube fuse positions in electronic control equipment and low-voltage circuit fuse holders rated for 250V service.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or electronics technician. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before replacing a fuse. Verify that the replacement fuse matches the amperage, voltage, and time-delay rating specified on the equipment label. NEC guidelines require fuse replacements to match the original overcurrent protection rating of the circuit.
