Help me find this fuse!

[Runes911]

I dont know if this would be the best place to post this...

My power supply some how blew the fuse. I need to find this type, its 8 amp 250 volt ceramic fuse. Its about 1/4" long. The only marking I can make out on it is T8H250V.

Anyone?

Digi-Key, Mouser, or Newark should carry them.

Most likely the replacement will blow as soon as you turn it on though. :Q

Why's that?

In electronics the transistor is the fastest fuse.

When something shunts it will take out the fuse. Replacement of said fuse with another and it blowing immediately when mains power is applied confirms this. Rarely do those fuses open on overload only.

1/4 inch long, or 1/4 inch across?
Sounds like a standard 8A 250V T 20mm fuse to me
