Bussmann MDQ Series Small-Dimension Time-Delay Fuse, 250V

The Bussmann MDQ Series time-delay fuse from the Eaton Bussmann series is rated 250V for dependable overcurrent protection on electrical circuits, and this family is available in amperage ratings from 0.375 Amp to 2 Amp to match a range of low-current protection needs. Designated in manufacturer records as a small-dimension, time-delay (TD) fuse, it is engineered to ride through momentary inrush and start-up current spikes that are common on motor loads, transformers, and other equipment with high initial current draw, while still opening promptly on sustained overloads or short-circuit conditions. Every fuse in this family carries a 100 kiloamp interrupt rating and terminates in Ferrule end connections, giving contractors a consistent platform across the available amperage options. As part of the trusted Eaton Bussmann series, this fuse gives electrical contractors, panel builders, and facility maintenance teams a compact, code-familiar option for standardizing overcurrent protection across a facility. Its small-dimension body is sized to install in standard small-dimension fuse holders, blocks, and disconnects without modification, simplifying stocking and replacement for maintenance crews. Fuses in this small-dimension form factor are commonly stocked alongside other Bussmann time-delay fuses, helping simplify inventory for facilities that rely on a single time-delay fuse platform across multiple circuits and amperage requirements.

Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: Rated 250V for use on electrical circuits and equipment specified for that voltage class.
  • Amperage Range: Available in ratings from 0.375 Amp to 2 Amp, allowing selection of the exact amperage needed for a given circuit.
  • Time-Delay Operation: Time-delay (slow-blow) fuse element rides through temporary inrush and overload conditions without nuisance opening, reducing unnecessary fuse replacement and downtime.
  • Small-Dimension Construction: Compact small-dimension body fits standard small-dimension fuse holders, blocks, and panels where installation space is limited.
  • Interrupt Rating: Rated for 100 kiloamps interrupt capacity, supporting reliable clearing under fault conditions.
  • Ferrule End Connections: Ferrule-style ends provide a secure fit in compatible small-dimension fuse holders and blocks.
  • Eaton Bussmann Series: Manufactured within the Eaton Bussmann series, giving electricians a recognized, consistent fuse platform for cross-reference and replacement.

Bussmann MDQ-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size fuse holder does the Bussmann MDQ fuse fit?
The MDQ is a small-dimension ferrule fuse measuring 1.25 inches by .25 inches, so it drops into standard 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch fuse clips, blocks, and holders. Ferrule ends mean it's a clip-in cartridge, not a screw-in or bolt-down type.
2) Which amp ratings can I order in the Bussmann MDQ 250V fuse?
Two ratings are offered: 0.375 amp (MDQ-3/8) and 2 amp (MDQ-2). The family spans 0.375A to 2A, so if your circuit needs something above 2 amps this is not the fuse for it.
3) I'm replacing a blown fuse marked MDQ-2. Is this the same part?
MDQ-2 is the 2 amp version of this 250V small-dimension time-delay fuse, so an MDQ-2 replaces an MDQ-2 directly. Match the amp number printed on the old fuse cap; the 0.375 amp version is ordered as MDQ-3/8.
4) Will a time-delay MDQ fuse stop nuisance blowing on a small transformer or motor circuit?
That's what the time-delay element is for. The MDQ rides through the brief inrush a transformer primary or small motor draws at start-up and still opens on a sustained overload or a short. If your load has no inrush, a fast-acting fuse of the same 1/4 x 1-1/4 inch size is the simpler choice.
5) Can I use the MDQ fuse on a 120V circuit?
Yes. The MDQ is rated 250V, and a fuse may be applied at or below its voltage rating, so 120V and 240V circuits are both within range. Do not use it above 250V.
6) What is the interrupting rating on the Bussmann MDQ, and is it enough for a high available-fault panel?
100 kiloamps interrupting capacity at 250V. That covers available fault current well beyond what a typical control circuit or branch panel presents, so the MDQ will clear safely in high-AIC installations within its voltage class.
