Wow that's $80 bucks in test breakers. If you save yourself from blowing 80 fuses then good deal

I currently just have a 2A and 5A.

I could probably use .5A, 1A, and 2.5A on top of that. For the most part from what I've encountered, solenoid and HV display issues are the ones that typically eat fuses when troubleshooting.

I like the larger ones since you can solder a blown fuse onto it and just plug it into a fuse holder.

These are all slow blow?

Good to know, I wasn't sure if they would reach or not.

Yep

You really only needed like 3, maybe four for pin repair - 2, 5, 10, & 15

i would say anything above 10amp in a circuit breaker/fuse device is over kill. i use 3, 5, 10 amp breakers. though i have a 1 amp i use too. you want the lower amp models. circuit breakers are slower (much slower) than fuses. so you should always be conservative on their value in a circuit.

I did something like this few months ago. With fuses costing a dollar a pop it does not take long for these to pay out. The other thing is the convenience of just pushing the reset button instead of R &Ring a fuse.

The small ones are easy. Solder a short pigtail of wire to the contacts and solder an old broken fuse to the pigtails.

I actually saved some $ by ordering these types of breakers on e-bay. Search under "boating breaker" or "boat breaker" and not fuse or relay.

It pays to look for these items through non-pinball sellers.

I ordered like 20 different values for $2 each from a few different eBay sellers. FREE shipping too.

These fuses are also used in small planes. known as "avionic breakers" or "thermal breakers"...

I found most of them from eBay sellers with lots of boating supplies.

I once found some AIRPAX avionic breakers for like $1 each on eBay. They were military grade, out of an old fighter jet from the 70's that someone was parting out.
