Title: Fuse size for Block Erupter 49 port USB hub
Post by: Tamerz on October 29, 2013, 12:10:59 AM
So I just got one of these from BTC Guild and it doesn't have a fuse in it. It appears to be using blade type fuses like cars use, but I don't see anything on the board indicating what size fuse it should take.

Anybody know?

yep, 40 Amp. you can pick it up an auto store, Frys etc...
however, one should have been included with your hub, maybe it's somewhere in the box?

I was able to find some at an auto parts store.

Nope, none included. I bought two of them and neither one had a fuse in the box.

There is a news post on the BTCGuild site about the fuses.  It is always good to have a spare.
