slo blo/time delay fuse

Usually.

NO, but near enough.

"Slo-Blo" is actually trademarked.

If you have a question about the interchangability of 2 parts, comparing the datasheets for the parts is the way to go. In this case, the time-vs-current curves are what you want. . . If, *instead* of using an email address for a username, you would use JUST A NAME--without a domain tacked on,

*THAT* won't be obfuscated by Google and it will make it easier for others (especially other Google Groupers).

** " Slo Blo " is a registered trade mark of Litelfuse, Inc - though the term has kinda gone into the lingo now. It refers to a " time-lag " type fuse.

Some makers use the term " time delay " to refer to the same thing and often mention a 200% for 12 second sustaining characteristic.

Many glass or ceramic tube fuses you see will have the letter " T " in front of the amp rating - which stands for the German word " trage " which means slow or lazy.

Yes, you're quite right.

Also 'slo-blo' is a US time curve wheras time-delay is an international IEC curve. In detail they are quite different but perform a similar purpose.
