914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: need help finding a fuse

Posted by: nebreitling Jun 11 2005, 12:06 PM

so this time of the year is a good time to go dumpster diving around the university. so far our haul includes a TV, a nice stereo, two decent body boards, and..... an electric scooter with charger....

so i'm trying to get the scooter running... it's all there, but needs a fuse replaced. don't mind jumping it for now, but i can't seem to find the fuse...

it's a standard 5x20 glass fuse, and it reads "F20A" on its ends. am i correct in reading this as a fast burning 20-amp fuse? does anyone know of a source for these, or have a suggestion for rigging it up?

thanks, n

Yep, I use those fuses on my 1KW Amp in my truck.

Any place which sells high output stereo Amps will have them.

Cali, OUT.

yup, BTDT. radioshack, fry's, jameco... it's an unusually high amperage for that size fuse...

i'll try a car audio shop...

Shouldn't those be readily available at any FLAPS? Old cars used to use those kind of fuses.
