Help with Electronics Repair, where to find the right fuse?
knave:
I need a T10AH250VP 5x20mm -
Break Down of Fuse Description:
T = Time Lag
10A = 10 Amp
H = High Breaking Capacity (Ceramic) 1500A @ 250V AC
250V = 250 Volts
P = RoSH Compliant
I have been searching around locally for one of these small ceramic fuses. Nothing. I found a few places online (Googled) but figured the board would know of the best place to get a replacement.

Whats it out of? we have a local electronics place called sayal that carries that sort of thing--don't know where you are though...

It's out of a DVD player. Apparently it is a size of fuse used in alot of consumer electronics. There are lots of people online who have saved dead flatscreen tv's by bothering to look and change the fuse. They are just not easily found...Lots of the bigger ceramic fuses, but not so much the small ones.
I'm half tempted to use one with the same specs but bigger form factor and just solder on a new fuse holder on leads. The only place locally that came close was Granger and they were pretty expensive.
More likely I'll have to scout around the web and order a 5 pack...
If anyone knows let me know.

Get another DVD player and pull the fuse from it. I'm sure that fuse could be found in a lot of similar type of units, too.
I wouldn't put a jumper in for a 10A fuse.

10 amp... for a power supply on a DVD player??? okay... i would think 3 or 5 would be more than enough... anyways...but if it's blown, likely the power supply is toasted.
the reason for ceramic is due to the high voltage rating (250volts) and small size between the contact points (reduces chances of arcing). if your country has 100 volt power i'm sure you would be fine with replacing it with a standard 10 amp glass fuse. if in the EU where the voltage is 200v i would seek out the ceramic fuse....although if you where actually in the EU, you could probably find a ceramic fuse no problem. :blah:
