Many thanks Hero999 for all your assistance.
My quest continues
I've found some more additional information from another fusible resistor manufacturers:
RNF Fusible Metal Film Resistor (Sannohm)
• SUPERIOR QUALITY FUSIBLE RESISTORS WHICH ARE FLAMEPROOF DURING OPERATION
• RESISTORS FUSE IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS AT 16 TIMES RATED POWER
• RESISTORS ARE MARKED WITH 4 COLOUR BAND CODE INDICATING THE VALUE AND A 5TH BLACK BAND DENOTING A FUSIBLE RESISTOR
Normally fusible fuses have the fifth band white, but according to this some have a black fifth band demoting it's a fusible resistor.
I've also noticed that most (if not all) fusible resistors have a matt finish and not a gloss finish.
I haven’t yet found out why the second black band (next to green) is thicker than the others?
How do you get to the value 500mΩ from the bands green, black, silver, gold?
Is there a different chart for calculating fusible resistors?
