Default wish I had said that...

Dan,

Think you did a GREAT job making it simple...and correct as far as I know...hey, what HE said...!!!

A fuse with NO LABEL that has a flat, notched lead strip has "SLO BLOW" characteristics.

A fuse LABELED "SLO-BLOW" and with a wire element thick enough to be twisted is a SLO-BLO.

A fuse labeled FAST-BLOW label probably also uses a very thin wire element.

If you always double check ratings, and never assume you have the correct fuse you probably won't experience a automotive Chernobyl.

Pete
