Five glass cylindrical fuses with metal end caps

Bussmann

Bussmann GDC-160MA Glass Fuse 160mA 250V AC 35A 5 PK

SKU CH-VW81-6MP0M

A pack of five 20 mm glass time-delay fuses rated 160 mA at 250 V AC with a 35 A interrupt rating

  • Time-delay protection handles brief surges without nuisance trips
  • 35 A interrupt rating at 250 V AC clears faults safely
  • 5 mm × 20 mm glass body fits standard fuse holders
  • cURus and IMQ listings confirm compliance with safety standards
  • Pack of five provides ready spares for maintenance

GDC-160MA Time-Delay Glass Fuse

The GDC-160MA is a 160mA, 250V AC glass fuse with a cylindrical body measuring 20mm long by 5mm in diameter. It carries a time-delay characteristic and a 35A interrupt rating at 250V AC. The pack contains five pieces and suits low-current circuit protection in equipment that uses the GDC or 218 series format.

Suits low-current board and appliance protection

Engineers specifying a 160mA time-delay fuse for 250V AC circuits will find this part matches the GDC, S506, 218 and GDG series cross-references. It is not for applications that require a fast-acting element, a higher current rating, a rejection-style body or a different physical size such as the 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch format.

160mA rating with 35A interrupt at 250V AC

The single specification that decides fit is the 160mA continuous rating combined with a 35A interrupt capacity at 250V AC. If the circuit demands a different amperage, a faster blow characteristic or a higher breaking capacity, this fuse will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 160 mA rating mean it runs warm during continuous use?

The fuse is a passive glass element; it does not generate measurable heat or noise under normal 160 mA load.

What fuse holder or block do I need for the 20 mm x 5 mm cylindrical body?

Compatible fuse blocks include the HTB series designed for 20 mm length and 5 mm diameter glass fuses.

Can I replace a Littelfuse 218 or Mersen GDG in older equipment with this GDC fuse?

Yes, the GDC series is listed as equivalent to Littelfuse 218, Mersen GDG and Bussmann S506 for direct substitution.
