I'm trying to get my Baby Pacman all straight when it comes to fuses and I'm trying to understand all the numbers. I'm electronics phobic but I do follow directions well so I don't expect to ever understand power. I'm looking at the BPM manual for the rectifier board (aka Power board). I'm trying to figure F3 which the manual calls for: 6A, 32V, 3AG. Besides the 6A part it's all greek to me. So my problem is: I ordered a Fuse kit specifically for BPM from Marco and in the kit is a list of the fuses in the kit. I see one that could be the one I'm looking for but I'm not sure. The kit fuse that I believe could be correct says AGC-6 Fast Blow 6 amp (6.3mm x 32mm). I'm not sure this is the right one as it's the only 6A in the kit. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

3AG sized fuses are 6.3mm x 32mm. 3AG is th eindustry term for them.

The smaller ones are called '205' size because they are 20mm x 5mm

as for the voltage - don't bother about 32V as almost all fuses these days are rated at 250V so that they can be used in anything
