The MDL-8-R is a time-delay glass tube fuse designed for overcurrent protection in electronic circuits. It is rated for 8A and 250 Vac, with AC interrupting ratings of 200A at 250V and 10,000A at 125V. Key electrical characteristics include a typical DC cold resistance of 0.015 Ω, a typical melting I²t of 47.8 A²s, and a typical voltage drop of 0.119V. Constructed in a 1/4" x 1 1/4" (6.4 x 31.7mm) package with nickel-plated brass endcaps, this fuse is UL Listed. The time-delay feature allows it to handle temporary inrush currents, making it suitable for protecting inductive loads.
