I left a plug fuse in my jacket pocket, which I then washed at 40

obviously) or will its electrical properties be compromised?
For the price of a fuse I would not risk it, since its impossible to say
how it would perform under fault conditions. Any moisture inside would
convert to steam on a high current fault, and make the enclosure more
likely to rupture.
Thanks. Seriously, that was my plan but I just wondered out of
curiosity.
Why not cut the end off and see if it wet inside.
