Bob,
I would be concerned that the heat would clear the fuse element, or at least make it more prone to clearing at reduced current. 73, Bob AD3K From: drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net [mailto:drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net] On Behalf Of Robert Fish Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 2:01 PM To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Drale Fuse I've never tried this, but couldn't you just clip the leads off of a cap or resistor from your junk box and solder them on to the end caps of a regular 8a fuse. You would certainly reflow the inside connection but as long as you still have continuity when your done, no harm no foul. I wouldn't do this on spacecraft or life support equipment, but the filaments of a T4XB I think would be OK. If it fails later, it fails open, so I don't see any risk. Just make sure you use leads that can handle 8amps. (there probably is a reason for not doing this, but I can't think of it). Bob K6GGO Greetings, Trying to find a source for the 8 Amp fuse with pig tails that solders into the filament string on the T4XB. Can find the fuse but not with pig tails, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 73 Gary _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
