Bussmann S506-1.6-R Glass Fuse 1.60A 250V 35A 5 PK

Glass Fuse Pack for Low-Current Circuits

This five-pack supplies 1.60 A time-delay glass fuses rated for 250 V AC with a 35 A interrupt rating. They suit maintenance technicians and hobbyists protecting small appliances, control boards or generator accessory circuits where a cylindrical 20 mm by 5 mm fuse is specified. The cURus, IMQ and MITI/JET recognitions confirm compliance for North American and international equipment. Buyers needing higher amperage or a different body size should select another series.

Direct Replacements for Common Series

Each fuse cross-references Bussmann GDC and S506, Littelfuse 218 and Mersen GDG series, so the pack drops into existing HTB-compatible fuse blocks without hardware changes. The single-element, non-rejection design means installation is a simple push-in swap, reducing downtime during field service. No additional software, adapters or mounting hardware are included or required. Installers who need rejection-style or PCB-mount variants must source a different part number.

1.60 A Rating Defines Circuit Compatibility

The 1.60 ampere continuous rating is the critical figure that determines whether this fuse matches the protected circuit’s design current. Exceeding this value causes nuisance blows; undersizing it risks equipment damage before the fuse opens. The 35 A interrupt capacity at 250 V AC limits use to circuits where prospective short-circuit current stays below that level. Engineers specifying protection for higher fault currents must choose a fuse with a greater interrupt rating.
