Overview

The Mersen GDL3-1/2 miniature time-delay fuse (SKU: GDL3-1/2) provides reliable overcurrent protection for industrial and electronic circuits operating at 250VAC and 3.5A. Engineered with a glass body and 6.3x32mm ferrule dimensions, this fuse is designed to tolerate temporary inrush currents—such as those from motor starts or capacitive loads—while rapidly interrupting dangerous overloads and short circuits. Key specifications include a 250VAC rating, 3.5A current rating, and a high interrupting rating of 200A at 250VAC. The glass body construction allows for easy visual inspection of the fuse element, confirming operational status or blown condition. The compact 6.3x32mm ferrule design ensures compatibility with standard fuse holders and space-constrained environments. UL Listed and CSA Certified, the GDL3-1/2 meets stringent safety standards for use in power supplies, control systems, lighting controls, and industrial machinery. Its time-delay feature minimizes nuisance tripping, making it ideal for applications with transient current spikes. The fuse is manufactured in the US and distributed by Gross Automation. Choose the Mersen GDL3-1/2 for dependable protection in sensitive electronic circuits, where consistent performance and safety compliance are critical.
