Fuse Assembly?


WhoDat

Recommended Posts

Last year, i kept blowing fuses on an overloaded channel (which is now fixed, my fault). So the constant replacing of the fuses actually wore out the little fuse cover. So, i had to steal one from one of my (GASP) unused boxes. . . . . however, this year, that box will not sit idle. . . . So. . .

Anyone know where i can buy a couple of these replacement fuse housing/assemblies?

Anyone know the part number? I tried digging around on Mouser, but not having any luck finding the right one.

Thanks!

Radio Shack might have the whole fuse holder and you could just use the new cap on the old holder.

You might want to take the controller with you and see if the sales person would let you try the new cap.

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestions. I put in a ticket, but i know how busy they are right now, so I wasn't expecting them to drop everything for my little issue. I have to run to radio shack anyway to stock up on fuses. . . just in case.

Has anybody ever had a fuse break inside the fuse casing?

My unit would not fire up last night, so I figured my fuses finally went out. (I was right) I went to remove them. First one came right out but the second one was stuck. I got my needle noses out and pulled on it, and it snapped right at the bottom of the casing. I tried to get the rest of the fuse out of the casing but it is like major stuck. Almost think the metal part of the fuse has melted down at the bottom of the fuse casing.

If that is the case, how do I go about replacing that fuse casing?

I own a local automotive parts store in town and those panel fuse mounts are pretty common to us. Might try part stores in town...
