Fuse for Desk Lamp 10mm x 3.6mm 1.0 Amp 250 Volt
Hi,
The halogen bulb went in my Tchibo desk lamp last week - put a new one in but still not working - checked plug wiring and fuse - all OK. Taking the base off I've found a fuse holder with the smallest fuse I've ever seen just 10mm long x 3.6mm Dia. It's 1 Amp 250V I've Googled but not found a supplier - any ideas of where to try Regards Steve. - Steve Lowe - E-Mail : - Before Replying Remove .NO.SPAM - UK Resident although my e-mail address is usa.net |

It's 1 Amp 250V Without checking the sizes, this sounds like a circuit board fuse, not a mains fuse. The rating says that too. Like the other man ("Stephen Dawson") says - Maplin. Or maybe not - are you sure about those 10mmx3.6mm dimensions? The closest match I see is at http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?...No=451&doy=9m1 which says : A range of fuses with nickel-finish brass end caps, overall size 20 x 5mm diameter. Designed to IEC127 with SEMKO, UL, BSI and VDE approvals. Rated at 250Vac with a breaking capacity of 35A or 10 times the rated current, whichever is greater. Available in the following ratings: 100mA, 160mA, 200mA, 250mA, 315mA, 400mA, 500mA, 630mA, 800mA, 1A, 1.25A, 1.6A, 2A, 2.5A, 3.15A, 4A, 5A, 6.3A, 10A I think I've seen such smaller fuses before, but since I don't have to do component-level diagnosis this decade, I've not got a catalogue to hand. Looking through rswww.com (Radio Spares) ... you've got something pretty unusual. What country does it come from? Somewhere oriental, I'd guess, though I've seen some pretty weird looking stuff in Russia too. Get some 1A fuse wire, wrap it around the fuse body, optionally put heat-shrink over the body to keep the wire snug, and pop the fuse back in. -- Aidan Aberdeen, Scotland Written at Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:20 GMT, but posted later. |

Fuse for Desk Lamp 10mm x 3.6mm 1.0 Amp 250 Volt
Hi,
Thanks - Yep - I'd looked at Maplins they don't show anything smaller than 20mm - and I've got 20mm in assorted voltate/current in my bits and pieces box. The one that's blown is defiantly 10mm - the fuse older was a small plastic box and I had to prise the lid off with a small screwdriver - the fuse was held in place on the underside of the lid - bit like some 13amp plugs where you can prise the fuse out without having to unscrew and remove the lid of the plug. No joy on RS website either I've got one of the local electrical factors trying to track down a supplier as well.

I sort of thought 20mm was about the minimum length to stop flame propagation at 240 volts and still allow decent end caps for current handling on a universal design. -- *Why are they called apartments, when they're all stuck together? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I did the obvious and Googled for it http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...ll&resnum=0&ct =result&cd=1&q=fuse+3.6+x+10mm&spell=1 which produced a number of results, including the several you've mentioned. Some of the larger pictures show that the axial-leaded versions have metal caps on each end, so fitting them into a more-or-less normal clip type holder should work. Finding one of *those* is going to be fun though. -- Aidan Aberdeen, Scotland Written at Thu, 11 Jan 2007 14:47 GMT, but posted later. |
