Title: AC input and fuse holder (solved)
Post by: BobA on July 27, 2010, 11:18:16 am

I have an AC input module that has a fuse built in.   The fuse holder also can be placed in 4 postions to select input voltage.  I am pulling a blank as I cannot get the fuse portion open.  I have seen these many times but I have never had to open one.   I tried pushing in to see if it would pop out but nothing budged.

Anyone know how to get it open?  It is mounted on a piece of equipment so I cannot access the internals.

I think I am having a senior moment

Thanks

The original pics are rather small, but...

Looks like there's a little notch just on the inside edge of where the plug goes, up against the fuse door. Probably stick a jewelers screwdriver in there and pry it open.

Good call gryhnd.  :applaud: :applaud:  Took me longer to find a small screwdriver then to pop out the fuse.   Unfortunately the fuse was fine.  On with the troubleshooting.
