The BP/MDL‑1 from Bussmann Corporation is a time‑delay (slow‑blow) glass cartridge fuse engineered to provide reliable overcurrent protection for electrical and electronic circuits that experience temporary inrush currents during startup. Rated at 1 amp and 250 volts AC, this fuse is ideal for applications where brief current surges are normal, but sustained overloads must be safely interrupted to protect sensitive components.

Part of the trusted Bussmann MDL Series, the BP/MDL‑1 features a dual‑element construction that allows momentary current spikes without nuisance opening. Its clear glass tube enables quick visual inspection to determine fuse status, simplifying troubleshooting and routine maintenance. Designed to standard cartridge dimensions, this fuse offers broad compatibility with commonly used fuse holders and blocks.

Packaged in a convenient 2‑count retail card, the BP/MDL‑1 is well suited for service technicians, maintenance departments, and replacement inventory in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
