In fact I don't remember even seeing the .4 amp version. So I wrote them, and received this response "sorry but we don't have it in our offer". Guess their CS department was/is confused. I would have bought them there. --- End quote --- The 400mA is a slightly different series. 750VAC rated at 50kA instead of 1000VDC and 30kA --- End quote --- Just testing you Dave! :) Nice catch, now I see it, all in the DETAILS! |

I just remembered the 121GW needs the same 400mA fuse. It comes with an ASTM HV610.0.4 10kA 600V But the higher rated ASTM HV620.0.4 10kA 1000V would also be suitable for the BM235. Buggered if I can find a source for those though. http://www.astml.com/uploads/product/hv620%20series_1000vdc_20160428.pdf ASTM also make a suitable 11A fuse http://www.astml.com/uploads/product/hv110.xxa_dmi_a.pdf Realistically, 600V fuses could also be safely used in the BM235 for most applications. Manual updated with additional fuses |

When I queried SIBA on the big price discrepancy, they did not know, and weren't even sure if the SIBA fuses sold by TME were genuine or not. |

I would always be willing to pay more up front for fuse "insurance". Since I also bought the case "kit" with my EEVBLOG BM235, you might consider bundling some spares in the case kit, an incentive to get the case with those included accessories, adjust price accordingly. That's assuming you can get them at a volume price in the first place. --- End quote --- Yep, working on it now. Just occurred to me to ask Brymen who almost certainly get them in huge qty at the lowest price possible. --- Quote ---Both SIBA and Bussmann aren't too interested in selling individual fuses, as I found out, but not sure how much a volume order would be. I was lucky to be gifted a few of the larger 11amp Bussmann fuses, so my search was focused on the smaller .4a SIBA fuses. When I receive them from the U.K. EBay seller, I will visually inspect them, but don't have a known way to test them for authenticity, any suggestions? --- End quote --- Test fuses for "genuineness" is probably tricky business. |
