Hi folk, where in the world can I obtain some 3.5 amp 30mm long 3AG glass fuses,
or failing that, where can I get some 3.5 amp fuse wire so I can repair the old
ones. They used to make them, so there must be some somewhere.
Yours Sincerely,

Phillip Truscott.

3.5A, 3AGG is now called ACG 3.5

Should be able to find them under this name.

Mark & Phillip-

As I understand it, 3AG and AGC are the same fuse, possibly from two
different companies.

Looking in Newark and Allied catalogs, I don't find a fuse in that size
package with a 3.5 Amp rating. I do see one in the GMA 5 mm X 20 mm size
used in foreign equipment.

I did a Google search on "3.5 agc fuse" and "3.5 3ag fuse" and found a
couple of sources for each at the top of the list. You may also check the
Buss (http://www.bussmann.com/) or Littelfuse (http://www.littelfuse.com/)
web site.

Go to any electronics parts supplier, and order a box of GMA-3.5FB or
the equivalent fuses. If you cannot find a 3.5, a 4.0 should also be
good. If the 4.0 blows, then you know for sure that you have a short.

If the fuse is not of a standard length, I would suggest changing the
fuse holder.

Wrong size.
3AG 2.5A (now ACG 3.5) is 1.25" by .25", not 5x20 mm.

LMAO !

You *do* realise that about the only place on the planet using inch size fuses
still in any quantity is the USA ?

American fuses are probably not that widely available in Australia. They will
tend to stock ones to the IEC ( intenational ) specs

Well it is foreign equipment to us.. Just as ours is foreign to you.

I'm entirely used to equipment from all over the planet. Americans do seem to be
more parochial in this respect though.

Graham-

Yes. The subject happens to be one of those inch size fuses.

My reference to "foreign" was quoted from the catalog entry. I should
have stopped after "GMA 5 mm X 20 mm size"!

1 1/4" fuses are called 32mm by the IEC. They do have an international spec for them
actually.

I'm afraid the use of the terminology GMA is 'foreign' to me - lol !
