BK/MDL-5 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Eaton BK/MDL-5 is a 5 A, 250 VAC slow-blow glass cartridge fuse intended for overcurrent protection in a range of electrical and electronic equipment. The transparent glass construction and standard cartridge form factor make it easy to inspect and replace when needed.

 

This fuse is rated for a steady current of 5 A and a maximum voltage of 250 VAC. It offers a breaking capacity of 200 A at the rated voltage, and its melting I²t of 32 A²s provides a measure of how much energy the fuse can withstand before clearing. The slow-blow response delay allows the fuse to tolerate temporary inrush currents without nuisance trips.

 

Packaged in the standard 3AB/3AG size (0.250" diameter x 1.250" length, or 6.35 mm x 31.75 mm), the BK/MDL-5 requires a fuse holder for installation. It carries CSA and UL approvals and is listed as RoHS3 compliant.
