Eaton GMA-8-R 8 A Fast-Acting 5 x 20 mm Glass Fuse
Built by Eaton, the GMA-8-R carries 8 A, rated 125 Vac, uses a fast-acting element, in a glass body, measuring 5 x 20 mm.

Selection Notes
- Interrupting capability is 200 A at 125 Vac — confirm the circuit's prospective fault current stays below this.
- Fast element suits resistive and semiconductor loads rather than motors with high inrush.
- Because it opens within milliseconds, downstream semiconductors see less let-through energy.
- Glass body lets you inspect the element after a fault.
- Best kept for lower fault-current circuits where visual diagnosis matters.
- Footprint 5 x 20 mm — check clip or holder compatibility before substitution.
- Working voltage must stay at or below 125 Vac; a lower-rated part is not a safe substitute.
- Do not upsize beyond 8 A to stop nuisance trips — fix the cause instead.
Typical Applications
Engineers usually specify it for these duties:
- EV
- surge
Q&A
What are the ratings of the GMA-8-R?
8 A continuous at 125 Vac, interrupting rating 200 A at 125 Vac.
Is the GMA-8-R fast-acting or time-delay?
It is fast-acting. Expect it to open quickly on overload.
What size is the GMA-8-R?
It measures 5 x 20 mm. Match the holder or clip to this footprint.
Can the GMA-8-R be used on a higher fault-current circuit?
No — its interrupting rating is 200 A at 125 Vac. Choose a part whose breaking capacity exceeds the prospective fault current.
