Hi mvs sarma,
Yes, i have been trying my very thin coil winding wire, i have found
that my 48swg blows at just under an amp, about 900mA.
And yes, if i cannot find anything else then i will have to use that.
Hi Nigel,
Well low current fuse wire may have quite a small market, but those
glass fuse replacements get the wire from somewhere. Unless they are
just using up old stock in which case replacement wire would slowly
become more attractive.
My choice to use fuse wire against other methods might seem strange
but to find no mention of something on the internet is even more strange.
I seem to remember often un-soldering the ends of glass fuses, and
replacing the fuse wire inside them, sometimes getting my fingers too
hot in the process. I think i had several choices of current under an
amp. The wire was wound on a card i think, with three or four choices
on it.
I will continue trying various combinations of wording, maybe i will
get lucky and find a source of fuse wire to suit me.
If i do find somewhere to get it, i will pass it on here as others may
want to use low current fuse wire sometimes.
Cheers, John
