Mersen GDL8 Ferraz Miniature Glass Fuse V1037686

Mersen 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. GDL8 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. Ferraz Shawmut GDL8 is comparable to Eaton Cooper Bussmann MDL-7-1/2-R, MDL-8-R, FST034.3426, Schurter 34.3426, Littelfuse 0313008.
