The BP/GMC‑5 Glass Time‑Delay Fuse from Bussmann Corporation is a high‑quality, slow‑blow overcurrent protection device designed for electronic and light‑duty electrical applications that experience temporary inrush currents. As part of the trusted GMC series, this fuse provides dependable protection while allowing short‑duration current surges without nuisance opening.

Rated at 5 amps and 125 volts AC, the BP/GMC‑5 features a time‑delay (slow‑blow) characteristic that makes it ideal for circuits with motors, transformers, power supplies, and capacitive loads. The time‑delay design allows normal startup surges to pass safely while still providing reliable protection against sustained overloads and short‑circuit conditions.

The fuse is constructed with a transparent glass tube and metal end caps, enabling quick visual inspection to determine fuse status during troubleshooting or maintenance. Its compact cartridge form factor ensures compatibility with standard glass fuse holders commonly used in electronic equipment and appliances. This retail‑carded package includes two fuses, making it convenient for replacements, service work, or spare inventory.
