Meet the Jandorf GDA 1.6A Fast Acting Fuse — a precise, reliable protection device designed for electronic circuits that demand immediate interruption in overcurrent events. This 2-pack from the GDA sub-brand arrives on a carded package, ready for retail display or field service replacements.
Key advantages:
- 1.6 amp fast-acting fuse for quick response to overcurrent—protect sensitive components from damage during surges.
- Reliable construction: ceramic tube for robust heat resistance and plated brass endcaps that ensure solid electrical contact.
- Voltage rating: up to 250 V, suitable for a wide range of electronic applications, from hobby projects to professional equipment.
- Dimensioned at 5 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length, fitting common fuse holders across many devices.
- UL listed (safety certification) with two fuses per carded package for practical stocking and quick replacements.
- Not CSA-listed and not tamper-proof by design; intended for standard protective use in compliant circuits.
- Packaging type: carded for easy identification and organization in stores or workbenches.
Who should consider this fuse? Engineers, hobbyists, technicians, and electronics designers who need a fast-acting fuse that responds to short, sharp surges rather than long inrush currents. It's ideal for protecting power supplies, audio gear, microcontroller projects, LED drivers, and other small- to mid-size electronics operating at up to 250 volts.
How it compares to alternatives: If your circuit requires rapid interruption at the first sign of overload, the GDA 1.6A fast-acting fuse delivers precise protection without the slower response of time-delay variants. The ceramic tube construction helps manage heat in compact form factors, while the 5 x 20 mm footprint ensures compatibility with standard fuse holders.
Practical tips: always replace with the same amp rating and voltage rating to maintain protection integrity. If you’re replacing an older fuse, verify the device’s rated operating voltage and expected fault currents to confirm 1.6 A is appropriate. Store spares in their carded packaging to protect against humidity and dust until installation.
