I'm finally getting around to replacing the blow fuse in my DMM. I've been using the unfused probe input for a bit now and am wanting to go back to using the fused input. The meter is a BK 2706A and the front of the meter says that the limit is 200mA. The manual is located at:

http://www.bkprecision.com/manual/2706A_manua.pdf

After taking the case apart, the fuse installed is actually a 630mA fuse. On the end opposite all the certification labels it reads F630mAH250V. It seems to be a ceramic 5x20mm fuse perhaps? Anyways, I realize that Mouser offers a fuse: (615-1943991) but I'd like to pick one up locally. What would you recommend that I buy, and is this discrepancy between the actual fuse and the listed current normal?

Thanks!

I blew one in my 2704B. Just ordered the 4-pack from Mouser.
It is the same as the 06.
You go by what the fuse says. It is a fast acting ceramic, 250V, 630mA, made by Bussman. 5x20

Normal for discrepency. If you get a 200mA it will blow a lot especially if it si fast acting. The 630 will protect from spikes. It is what is in there from the manufacturer. Use that.

Thanks. Fry's didn't have any 630mA in Littelfuse or Bussman, but they had a Fluke 5-pack that are the proper type.

Those will work. Brand doesn't matter. As long as they are the same size and spec.

Do not get the fuses from Mouser. They are only a single fuse unlike the 4-pack that B&K shows on their site. What a rip.
<> Mouser is checking to see if they have it correct on their end.
