Bussmann BP/S-12 12A Time-Delay Plug Fuse, Rejection Base
The Bussmann BP/S-12 is a 12A time-delay plug fuse built for residential load centers, delivering rated protection at 125V with a rejection base that accepts only correctly rated fuses. Its plastic base construction and 10 kAIC interrupt rating make it a dependable choice for branch-circuit overcurrent protection in screw-in fuse panels. The time-delay design rides through momentary current surges, such as motor starting inrush, while still opening quickly on sustained overloads or short circuits, and its threaded design mounts directly into a standard Type S fuseholder.
