GMD-1.6A Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Eaton GMD-1.6A is a 5x20mm glass cartridge fuse with a slow-blow (time delay) characteristic. It is rated for 1.6 A at 250 V AC and provides a 100 A breaking capacity. The fuse features a nickel-plated brass endcap construction and is designed to meet UL/CSA 248-14 requirements.

 

Electrical characteristics include a DC cold resistance of 27 Ω, typical pre-arcing I²t of 220 A²s, and a maximum voltage drop of 220 mV at rated current. Opening time at 135% of rated current is 60 minutes maximum; at 200% it opens in at least 5 seconds and within 2 minutes.

 

The fuse is housed in a 5.2 mm x 20 mm glass tube with optional axial lead alternatives. It requires an external fuse holder for mounting. The GMD-1.6A is UL Listed (Guide JDYX, File E19180) and CSA Certified (Class 1422-01, File E65063).
