Hi, I am an electronics newbie and owing to my own
stupidity I need a new fuse for my multimeter.

The manual says get an "identical" fuse, then gives
a colon, and specifies 250V and 500mA. It also says
phi5X20(mm), which I assume just means 5mm in diameter
and 20mm long.

So you just need a 20mm 500mA fuse

Does it have an "F" or a "T" on it to indicate fast or slow blow ?

Maplins should have those in stock, as for exact replacement, they're
just covering their arses
