Bussmann MDL-5-R Glass Fuse 5A Time-Delay 10kA 125V 200A 250V 5 Pack
Pack of five 5 A glass time-delay fuses rated for 10 kA at 125 V AC and 200 A at 250 V AC
- Time-delay design protects against nuisance trips during motor start-up
- 10 kA interrupt rating at 125 V AC handles high fault currents
- 200 A interrupt rating at 250 V AC suits higher-voltage circuits
- Glass body allows visual inspection of element status
- Pack of five provides ready spares for maintenance
Glass Fuse Pack
This pack contains five 5 A time-delay glass fuses rated for 125 V AC and 250 V AC circuits. They protect wiring and equipment by interrupting overloads and short-circuits in automotive, generator and general electrical applications. Each fuse measures 1-1/4 in length by 1/4 in diameter with a cylindrical glass body. The MDL series design suits panels and holders that accept this standard form factor.
Straightforward Replacement
Installation is a simple push-fit into compatible fuse clips or holders; no tools are required beyond access to the fuse compartment. The non-rejection body fits legacy and current MDL, MDQ, MDV and MDX sockets as well as Littelfuse 313, 315 and Mersen GDL, GDV equivalents. The main risk is inserting a fuse with the wrong ampere or voltage rating, which can compromise protection or cause nuisance blows. Always verify the circuit voltage and current before fitting.
Maintenance and Repair Use
These fuses suit technicians and owners servicing 125 V or 250 V AC systems that specify a 5 A time-delay glass cartridge. They are not intended for DC circuits, higher voltage rails or applications that demand a rejection-style or high-breaking-capacity fuse beyond the stated interrupt ratings. Buyers who need a different current rating, a ceramic body or a rejection-type fuse should select an alternative series.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the MDL-5-R fuse is operating correctly after installation?
The circuit it protects should remain powered under normal load; if an overcurrent occurs the time-delay element will open at 5 A, interrupting up to 10 kA at 125 V AC or 200 A at 250 V AC, and the glass body lets you see the melted element.
What comes in the pack and what must I supply separately?
The package contains five MDL series glass fuses rated 5 A, 250 V AC, time-delay, 1-1/4 in long by 1/4 in diameter; you must provide a compatible fuse holder or block and ensure the circuit voltage does not exceed 250 V AC.
Which equivalent series should I choose if I need a direct replacement for the MDL-5-R?
The MDL-5-R crosses to Bussmann MDQ, MDV, MDX, Littelfuse 313 and 315, and Mersen GDL and GDV series; select the series that matches the 5 A, 250 V AC, time-delay, 1-1/4 in x 1/4 in cylindrical glass form factor required by your equipment.
