Unknown type of fuse - please help
Please assist to find out the type of Fuse in Pre Amp, model PCA-2.
Same fuse installed in External PSU, model Analog HCPS. Length overal - 31.1 mm (1.23 inch), dia.=6.3 mm (0.248 inch). As I understood - it's PS Audio style to use such type of fuse. Last edited by Eisener Bart; 05-29-2017 at 01:49 PM. |

Standard US Type fuse
Hi Sergio,
That is a US standard 3AG size. It is 1/4" diameter and 1 1/4" long. Very commonly used before the metric fuses became popular in the US. Converted to metric it would be a 6.35mm x 32mm.

+1 The "AG" means auto glass. These were typical in American cars years ago before the blade type now used. You can easily order them on Amazon. As an example, here's a 3 amp Littelfuse 3AG Slow Blow. Make sure you look at the current rating stamped on the end of your old fuse. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00067AIBS..._UmhlzbKC05TW9 Last edited by Cohibaman; 05-29-2017 at 03:20 PM. |
