I'm installing a few electronic devices in the Mooney that call for 

inline fuses as circuit protection.  I've never been a fan of the inline 

glass fuse holders, so I'm looking at inline blade fuse holders instead. 

  Then, since smaller is better (or so I think), I'm specifically 

looking at the mini blade fuse holders.



The problem is that these devices specify a fuse rating of one amp (or 

sometimes less), and the smallest mini blade fuses I'm finding are 2 

amps.  I don't think that will really be harmful, but I want to follow 

the instructions as closely as possible.



So, with that explanation, are there sources of one-amp or lower rated 

mini blade fuses?

Yep...the fuse manufacturer Littlefuse lists them, so I would guess that you can find them at anyplace that sells their fuses...a quick Google search found them at Mouser ( http://tinyurl.com/yh2z8zp ) and a dozen smaller online stores for around 25-35 cents each.

   1A is as small as I've ever seen . . . and most auto-stores

   only stock them down to 3A. 1A and 2A were part of the

   inventory I sold B&C some years ago.  They appear on their

   website at:

These are the ATC fuses, and I was actually looking for the ATM--but

what I'm finding at Mouser and such for 1A ATM fuses requires a large

order and a long lead time.  ATC it is, then.  Thanks!
