Bussmann 6A Time Delay Glass Fuse with 250VAC Voltage Rating; MDL Series

These cartridge-style, time-delay glass fuses tolerate temporary inrush currents without opening, which prevents nuisance-blowing from equipment startups. Also called slow-blow glass fuses, they open to disconnect an electrical circuit when exposed to sustained loads and short circuits.

Glass fuses provide overcurrent protection for low-current circuits in appliances, electronics circuit boards, and lighting fixtures. They typically have a voltage rating of 300VAC or less and are used for applications where they won't be exposed to high heat that could shatter the glass. Their small, cylindrical body is see-through for checking whether the fuse wire is intact or has melted.
