Bussmann MDL-6-1 Fuse Spring Element Type MDL-6-1

Bussmann MDL-6-1 is a member of Eaton's Bussmann MDL Series time-delay glass-fuse family, designed to protect circuits in electronics and low-voltage equipment while tolerating brief surge currents. The fuse is packaged in the 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch glass-tube format and uses metal end caps with axial leads; related catalog entries for the MDL-6-1/4-R variant list a 6-1/4 A (6.25 A) current rating at up to 250 V AC, and the construction is RoHS-compliant. As a time-delay (slow-blow) fuse, it can survive short-duration overloads without opening, making it suitable for power supplies, consumer electronics, and automotive-related circuits where inrush currents are common. The MDL family is documented across major distributors (Grainger, Mouser, Rexel) as a glass-time-delay fuse and is included in Eaton’s electrical-circuit-protection lineup, reflecting Bussmann’s long-standing role in circuit protection. Typical specifications you’ll encounter for MDL-6-1/4-R family members include the 1/4" x 1-1/4" footprint, 250 V rating, RoHS compliance, and axial-lead versions, which facilitates straightforward integration into standard PCBs and assemblies.
