Buss fuse

Greetings



I found a bunch of these in one of my toolboxes:

At first glance, it looked like some sort of a buzzer (which I was looking for). I googled around a bit but did only find manufacturers selling them, and did not find any sort of datasheets, references or tip of what these components are.



Anyone care to give a clue?

It's a 315mA 250V Buss Fuse, just like it says.

Its a plug in fuse. Time delay, 315 mA and rated to use at up to 250 volts. The last time I used these was in Jerrold 12 channel CATV line amplifiers inside the cast aluminum boxes on the main trunk lines. The fuse holders had a screw on cover to keep them from vibrating out of the sockets. I don't know if they are still in production but several companies made compatible fuses and I believe they used a common bi-pin lamp socket for the fuse socket. These were '70s technology.
