Slow blow 0.5 amp fuses

[justin_t]

Hi

Im looking for a type of fuse that seems to be a bit of an odd ball.

Its a 0.5 Amp slow blow in 6.3mm by 25mm cartridge packaging.
I need it for the input to a small switch mode power supply.

I have some in 5mm x 20mm but dont seem to be able to find them in the above packaging.

Any help appreciated.

Justin

Does it have to be slow-blow? I just did a Google search:

THere are 6.3x25mm slow blow ones, but it was on the website of a Taiwan manufacturer.

Well 1.25 inch fuses dropped out of general use 30 odd years ago, so they are FAR less common than 20mm ones, but here's one source:

Cooper Bussmann | Electrical Installation | Fuses and Circuit Breakers | Fuses, Cartridge | Anti Surge HBC/LBC (Cartridge Fuses)

Thanks for your help.
Ive phoned the CE people since posting this thread and they should be happy enough with using a 1 amp HBC fuse as is shouldnt blow for the initial surge for the switch mode PS (that was what i required the slow blow feature for). The PS only draws 0.15 amp in normal operation.
Thanks anyway
