FlyDave Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hi all, My glareshield lights quit last Wednesday and I troubleshot it down to a fuse under the pot's for the panel and glareshield. There is a separate fuse for each system and they are a Buss FM01A 125V 5A. It's a ceramic cylindrical fuse with 2 leads on one end and the electrode in a window on the other end. I've never seen a fuse like this before. Anyone have a source for them? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonwojo Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 They are called micro fuses (usually for printed circuit boards) and can even be bought on eBay. Regulations say you should have spares during flight, so order a couple. The following link sells them for $3.00 a piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/272-5A-Micro-Fuse-Fuse_W0QQitemZ300274696680QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item45e9c441e8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonMuncy Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 The first time I needed one of these fuses, I wound up paying about $15 to one of the aircraft suppliers. Eventually I found these alternate sources, and keep a few on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loogie Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Where are the fuses located (On the M20J panel)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMuncy Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Just above the co-pilot's left knee. A couple of kinda conical shaped covers, you unscrew to get to the fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdriven Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I paid 80$ for two when i first got my plane and did some work on that circuit. I left the bare handshake coupler against the edge of the panel and t blew both of them and the transistors too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
