Fuse or fusible resistor?

 

Used in the battery (-) lead of a handheld scope. Schematics unpublished.

Physically similar to a 1/4 W resistor, color light green.  Marked "IE7A" or
"1E7A".

Google returns slim results, none promising.

What type is this?

Thanks,
Dave

 I should have figured that not a goddamned soul actually tried to answer
the question.

  It sounds like a 'soft-fuze'.  That resets itself after tripping.

  There is also a similar device used in hair dryer circuitry.
