The BP/GDC‑5A Time‑Delay Cartridge Fuse from Bussmann Corporation is a dependable slow‑blow overcurrent protection device designed for electronic and light‑industrial applications that experience temporary inrush currents. As part of the GDC series, this fuse provides controlled time‑delay operation, allowing normal startup surges to pass while still protecting circuits from sustained overloads and short‑circuit conditions.
Rated at 5 amps and 250 volts AC, the BP/GDC‑5A is well suited for applications such as power supplies, small motors, transformers, and electronic equipment where brief current surges are expected during startup or cycling. The time‑delay characteristic helps prevent nuisance fuse openings, reducing downtime and the need for frequent fuse replacement.
The fuse features a cylindrical cartridge design with metal end caps, ensuring secure installation in compatible fuse holders and clips. Its compact form factor makes it ideal for space‑constrained panels and electronic assemblies. This retail‑carded package includes two fuses, providing a convenient solution for maintenance, repairs, or replacement stock.
