TIP: Replacement IEC inlet, fuse carrier
 

Owner lost the push-in fuse carrier of the combined IEC socket, fuse and
filter block. So to avoid replacing all that lot, and having to remove
transformer etc , to get to it.
The carrier of a pcb mount 20mm fuse holder, remove the metal grips,
leaving just the HV/HTemp PPE part. A small nylon cable tie passed
through the otherwise pcb mounting hole around the 20mm fuse and a
cocktail stick as a temporary spacer, returned back through the hole,
through the ratchet bit and pulled tight. Remove the cocktail stick and
fuse stays in place well enough without falling out, requires pulling
out from the cable tie, for replacing. Ratchet block is enough to grab ,
to pull out the carrier and fuse. No spare fuse though in this
replacement little drawer but saved a lot of farting about.
Now all I need is a universal replacement for all those multivarious
missing 20mm/1.25 inch cylindrical chassis mount fuse caps.
