Automotive

Used in older-model cars, glass tube fuses today are found primarily in

automotive accessory applications. The expansive Cooper Bussmann line of

glass fuses includes many types and sizes in addition to those listed in this

catalog. Call Cooper Bussmann for more product details if you have

requirements which are not covered here.

Appliances and Consumer Electronics

Glass and ceramic tube uses are often used to protect appliances and

consumer electronics. As electronic equipment becomes smaller, the circuits

and components become more delicate and easily damaged. Fuses are the

preferred method of protection due to their accuracy, small size and

reliability. Fuses are available in a wide variety of amp ratings to provide

precise protection. Generally, two sizes of user-replaceable fuses are found:

ratings.

Fuse Types

There are two basic types of fuses available for appliances and consumer

electronics: fast-acting or time-delay. Any replacement fuse must match the

one it’s replacing. In general, fast-acting fuses are a single strand of wire or

strip of metal. Time-delay fuses usually have a coiled wire, a thick element

wrapped in wire, or a spring. Most electronic fuses will have the voltage and

amp rating stamped on the end cap. The type of fuse can generally be

visually identified. Also, owner’s manuals will have the correct replacement

fuse generically identified. For example: “Use a 2 amp, time-delay, 250 volt

fuse.”

Glass and ceramic tube fuses vary by diameter and length:

• GDA, GDB, GDC, GMA, GMC and GMD fuses: 5 x 20mm

Fuse Selection Criteria

• For electronic/electrical applications, fuse must be rated at 125V or better.

• Voltage must match or exceed the fuse being replaced (125V for

household current; 12V for auto; 24V for heavy duty).

• Fuse must match required fuse characteristic – either fast-acting or

time-delay.

• Amp rating must match that of the original fuse.

A Note on Voltage Rating

All fuses have a voltage rating. To maintain safety, this voltage rating should

not be exceeded in application, although it is acceptable to use a higher

rated fuse in a lower voltage application. For example: A fuse rated for 125

volts is appropriate in household (110V) or automotive (12V), while a fuse

rated for 32 volts is appropriate for automotive (12V), but not for household

(125V). Always replace a fuse with one of the same or higher voltage rating.
