[TVARC] Fuses

[Rich Erlichman]

NEVER, NEVER put in a fuse of a higher current rating. NEVER!!!! 

As a ham, you should know better.

Check Amazon. They have a ton of fuses of all shapes and sizes.

I entered "Bussmann MDQ time delay fuses" for a search criteria.

My Heathkit HD-1430 keyer died at Radio Rodeo on Saturday.  I found a blown
fuse in it.  It functions and draws nominal current when powered from 12
volts.  The bridge diodes measure OK as does the capacitors and neon light
on the primary side of the transformer.  The fuse in it is a 1/16 amp MDQ
dual element time delay fuse (datasheet attached) which is proving hard to
find.  Does anyone have something like that, even in a somewhat higher
current?

 

Thanks,

Rich
