    Replacement Fuse for VCR

    Hi,

    My VCR blew a fuse. THe original fuse is one of those glass cylindrical fuses rating is 1.6A/125V.

    At radio shack they have a 1.6A/250V fuse same size (5mmx 20mm).....

    can i use the 1.6A/250V fuse? or should i use a different one?

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

        Voltage rating of the fuse must be equal to, or greater than, what would become the open circuit voltage. For example, a glass tube fuse rated at 32 volts would not reliably interrupt current from a voltage source of 120 or 230 V. If a 32 V fuse attempts to interrupt the 120 or 230 V source, an arc may result.

          Matsui 175S microwave fuse replacement
          by drykid
          Hi,

          I recently picked up a used Matsui 175S microwave that was powering up (starts, turntable rotates) but not heating. From looking online the most likely culprit was the fuse, but unfortunately in this one the fuse had heated up and fused with the (badly designed) fuse holder and couldn't be removed. I guess this might indicate further issues beyond the fuse itself but at this stage I just want to replace the fuse and see how I go from there.

          Anyway since I couldn't get out the fuse itself the easiest fix was to replace the fuse holder assembly that runs between the...

          Looking for a Fuse T4AL/250V
          by Gadjet
          I've got a Monitor that's not showing any video, and I found this blown Fuse. As you can see from the photos, the board location has T4AL / 250V. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!...

          Replacement Fuse - 980TI Gigabyte
          by whc14765
          Hi,

          I have a GIGABYTE Windforce 980TI with a blown fuse. I have already found the root cause for the fuse blowing.

          I need help getting a replacement fuse - I'm fine with waiting some time for some cheap ones from China.

          The fuse says 10A on it. And I'm not sure what package size it is exactly. Also, how do I know if it is a fast or slow fuse?

          ...

          A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
          by corrize
          Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
          I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
          The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
          There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
          And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

          GPU 1206 SMD fuse markings & replacement fuses
          by eidam655
          Hello,

          I need to replace a fuse on one of the graphics cards I am working on. It is a 1206 SMD fuse, white in color and has a "10" written in a blue rectangle on it.

          How do I find a suitable replacement? What is the general rule to identifying fuses' parameters? I found something in an eshop near me (see photo) but am very hesitant to use this as a replacement....
