Realistic STA-2000 fuse holder

[DapperDee]

Hello All!!!

I recently got this receiver and have been giving it a good cleaning. When I took the bottom panel off I noticed one of the clips on the fuse holder is ready to break off. My question, is there a good source for a replacement holder that can fit in this space? Thanks in advance!

Finding an exact replacement may be tough,. But if you search for "fuse clip" or "fuse block" at various electronics parts suppliers, you should fine something close.

Here's a few generic examples, I didn't check dimensions.

Jameco Electronic - Fuse Clip
Digikey - fuse block

I ordered this one, obviously without measuring and I could install it ?somewhere?, but my thinking is "What if more of the holders go bad?". I was thinking I could mount a screw-in type holder on the back...

Being a bit lazy, I would use solder on the job. Purists would poo poo that though. Always your call.

I`ve silver soldered the snapped off circuit board mounted fuse clip wing elements successfully in the past when in a time sensitive crunch on occasion using a helping hand bench assistant tool`s alligator clips to hard press alignment position the broken off clip wing.
Worked well using a 120 v 80 watt Weller iron with its big chisel tip for good thorough even heating and solder flow at the splice.

Measure the diameter of those fuse's and search on Amazon for fuse clips. Many results of the individual clip shown a couple of posts ago b

I really like this site! It reminds me of an old school parts house!

I have a power control unit from a data center AHU that went bad that has the same clips
painttoad suggested. As I was soldering it to the board I touched one of the other clip… Lets just say today I ordered a set of ten to replace the others. Not sure if they just go bad over time or what.
