Fused plug

I am seeking what I thought would be easy... A ordinary NEMA-type 120V straight blade plug with integral fuse.

I've seen them on gear but finding a pn# for same is looking like a snipe hunt.

Now, if I were British....

For a one-off:

I've not noticed any modern ones, but some Chinese suppliers are offering 3-pin fused line cords (molded onto plugs, with some kind of sliding toggle in the plug to release the fuse). UL, or so they say.

Two blade ones are used in electric fence chargers. Check out brutonsupply.com also kencove.com and electric-deer-fence.com. Less than $5.00. If you want grounded, there's Molex PN 130144-0014. Not a stocked item and cost is about $30.00........Paul

Snipes have bad publicity and old tales to overcome. See

Yes, they are. Still a going concern.

I know this post is a few months old, but a Daniel Woodhead 14F47 may do what you want; it is a fused NEMA 5-15 plug. Apparently Woodhead is now part of Molex and the Molex part number is 130144-0014 .

The official data sheet is here

but it annoyingly doesn't say what kind of fuse it uses. Googling gives a vendor photo that suggests it is an 0.25" x 1.25" glass cartridge style fuse:

Newark doesn't stock it but says they can get it for $44. Some other industrial-automation places say they have them for around $40.

I also Googled and found Hubbell HBL5299, which is also a fused NEMA

5-15 plug. It only has a CSA rating (not UL), if that matters. Data sheet is here

but again doesn't say what kind of fuse it uses.

Same deal with Newark; don't have but can get for $43. Other vendors say they can get it for about $40. There are some on Ebay at the moment for about $14.

I've never actually used either one of these plugs; I just remember the Woodhead one from when this came up before, somewhere in sci.electronics.

Standard disclaimers apply; I don't get money or other consideration from any companies mentioned.
