More What The Heck Is It?

[patlaw]

A buddy sent me this picture asking what these parts are. They measure nothing on resistance or capacitance meters. Therefore, I have no idea. Do you recognize them?

They look like fuses. You say they "measure nothing on resistance". Does that mean 0 ohms, or infinite resistance? I see what looks to be maybe 5A marked on them, but it's hard to tell for sure from the pic. My bet is 5A fuses.

They are Littlefuse Pico fuses.

edit: Actually it's Littelfuse, I've been spelling it wrong for years.

At first, he indicated open circuit. Upon further inquiry, they're zero ohms. Had I known that, I would have known they were fuses. Thanks.
