Fuse- help me find

[drewl]

Need help looking for a fuse for something at work.

Got some rectifiers here at work that need a thru hole fuse, around 42 amps the size of a 1N4001 diode.

The blown ones are just a plain white blob with leads- no writing or markings at all.

Any chance you guys have seen something like that or know where to find them?

I've seen some close after searching for a while, just thought I'd try this massive collective of throbbing brains.

I think such a thing is physically impossible or nearly so.

Please recheck needed value and post what is it used for.

Plus: what voltage is being interrupted?

AC or DC?

Resistive/capacitive/inductive load?

A couple pictures?
Both of fuse itself and where is it mounted.

"around 42 amps the size of a 1N4001 diode."

No way.

The first fuse type that came to mind was Littelfuse Pico II series 251/253, but those are only rated up to 15A FAST / 32V. They are about the size of 1/4W resistor, axial lead.

Closest thing I could find is from Bel....type 0684L 40A/350V surface mount

The fuse is for a -48v rectifier DC 2000w output protection

Input 100-250v AC 13A

That little white blob was the fuse which had leads on both sides, it fits in between those two brown electrolytic capacitors.

The module goes into a rack to provide power to a cell site and to re-charge the batteries for a power outage.

Wow !!!!

Looks like what neveslab found is the SMD version, there must be (or have been) a leaded one.

[drewl]

Yeah, other model rectifiers use the SMD version which I could probably use if I have to.

Trying to save the hides of some field techs who connected something wrong.

I thought such things didnīt exist
