Need some help identifying a part

[cdnsoundguy]

Greetings,

Long time lurker, first time poster.
My father was an EE and after he passed a few years ago his collection of spare parts and components fell to me.
I have finally found sometime to go through his collection and I came across a ziplock bag of 500 green components all marked with "LF 1/4A".
Please see picture. The bag was marked "TECHTROL".

Does anyone know what the part is? It has a resistance of 0.34 ohms.

Thanks.

Fuse.

It is a 0.25 Ampere (250mA) PCB mounted fuse made by Littelfuse (LF)

The pictured fuse appears to be from their “PICO” range ……

Yeah, fuse. A typical use for them back then was on PC motherboards for the keyboard power line.
