My fuse system has a requirement for 7A, 2A, 1A, 0.5A and 5A fuses plus a bigger overall fuse. It seems that 7A is not made but 7.5A is so that’ll have to do.
A few days ago, I ordered a box of multiple different fuses and it arrived today. It’s pretty good in that it has every size except 0.5A. Those size is proving the devil to locate. As you can see, they’re all pretty and color coded. They look more like candy or beads than fuses! In fact they remind me of displays in greengrocers stores and confectionery stores in Barnstable in the late 1960s.
The specifications I see say 0.5A ATO fuses exist and are dark blue. Several websites claim to sell them yet have no stock. It’s the old story of selling anything you want at the price you can afford but is never in stock.
The kit is pretty extensive but I have to find a better way of getting the low amperage fuses than paying $10 for a box of 120 when only a third are useful. The car parts stores don’t have low amperage fuses. Perhaps the motorbike stores will. Radio Shack would have been worth a look but they no longer exist.
It’s just totally amazing that nobody online even lists a 0.5a fuse!
