Title: Replacement 10A fuse for the ANENG 8008
Post by: ledtester on April 03, 2018, 11:56:18 pm

So I decided to measure voltage right after measuring current without switching the probes around and... blew the 10A fuse in my ANENG 8008 meter.

The fuse measures 3.6mm x 10mm, rated 10A, 250V, fast blow and mounted in a clip fuse holder.

I just want to make sure that this part from Mouser is an acceptable replacement:

It has axial leads which I figure I'll just snip off.

Also, is anyone aware of other sources for this kind of fuse?

If it fits, it'll work. (Whether safe or not is a different matter)

On another note, 50A breaking capacity, really? I guess the length being what it is would really put a cramp on that. Probably fine on low energy circuits, but even the UK plug fuse things are like 6kA breaking capacity fused.

I've bought a set of these:
eBay search: "FUSE, 3.6X10MM, 10A, 250V, F (LOT OF 10)"
