Ah yes, the pico fuse....I sat in engineering more than once
when the
maintenance people would come in looking for a zero ohm
resistor....hehehe...we always got a chuckle out of that one!

You mean you've never used a zero ohm resistor? they are very
useful
for bypassing an unused attenuator on a surface mount PC board.
BTW,
they come in 5% and 1% versions ;-)

Not too many that looked like pico fuses!
I do remember seeing zero ohm resistors or jumpers used on single
sided
boards. I think they did that so they could auto insert the part.

I've seen them used for configuration ties too. ...same reason
wires aren't used, with the addition that they look like they're
needed for operation (harder to circumvent the design).

snipped the yucky Florida stuff - though we had snow last night

It was 39 degrees in Ocala this morning. Not quite cold enough to
snow, but it felt great!

That's getting down there for Florida in November. It was 23F
this morning and 36F now at 3:20PM. That should be about the
high, since the sun will be setting in about an hour. :-(

We hit a high of 55 today....soggy and drippy up here in the Santa Cruz Mts.
Calif......I think Mike is enjoying the cool weather for it is not cool or
dry in Florida often!!
 
That's an obsolete type of slow blow fuse. Slow blow fuses are
intended to allow maximum circuit protection but still allow a high
inrush current on startup typical of magnetic loads such as motors and
transformers. Read http://www.littelfuse.com/PDFs/EDG_Cat/Fuseology.pdf
for a good primer.

It was in the upper 70s by early afternoon. I was able to spend
several hours out in my shop without a huge fan trying to blow me off
the bench stool. I don't feel comfortable above 65 degrees on humid
days, so it wasn't too bad today.

That is better than the weather was up in Alaska while I was
stationed at the US Army cold weather test site. ;-)

Now that's the Florida I remember!....Mostly warm and humid year
round!.....You can only wear shorts here about 6 months out of the
year.....down your way....most of the time....Looking forward to the
tropical weather!....take care Mike, Ross
