the one you listed is way too strong for what you want...

you basically want to use a fuse that is wattage rated.. such as 8V at 20A ( 8X20 = 160W)

the one you listed is rated for 975W of power at any time to make it break

seems a SM item would be counter productive to changing out a defective/blown item... I understand that footprint is at a premium on such a small board but .... SMD fuse??

I would swing more towrds this one...

Thanks a lot BK. My that's a lot of reading. Fuses are way beyond me. Cool. Il have a go but maybe Ronald3638 is right. Il just pay a little more and get them from Greece. It's just I like the idea of the fuse but I built a .23 percent with the 12 amp just to test it. I pressed the button for 4 secs and it didn't blow, so I thought I'd try elsewhere. Thanks

that is the detail sheet ( technical data sheet) that is attached to each fuse listed from the site you posted in your OP... :)
when dealing with electronics... read the detail sheet ;)
