I bought some at my local farm supply store, WILCO. I believe Home Depot has
them too. They are labeled as microwave oven fuses. Available in both 15 and
25 amp. They are a dark brown/gray. They are either ceramic or some sort of
fiber type material. I've seen them both ways.
Or simply order them from Mouser. www.mouser.com They have no minimum order
requirements.
