Resistor inside a fuse?

[Saucey]

Ok Gurus I am stumped.

I am an amateur at best but usually can track down a decent answer to my electronics questions/part replacement needs.
This part has me stumped.

It is a Glass Cartridge Fuse with a resistor inside of it. It came out of an Home Audio Receiver. It appears the resistor is soldered to the inside of the end caps of the fuse. One side is blown (solder burned though). There are 5 bands on the resistor. I am always terrible at reading resistor bands (color blind).
Its ratings are 63mA 250V

Any advice on replacement would be appreciated.

Sir Saucey . . . .

Not abnormal at all to see that "delicate" type of fuse in some situations, its use of a selected resistor and using woods metal as the "solder"medium and letting resistor heat open it up.
This case is using a 12 ohm resistor, and you see the pristine resistor, yet its break away due to the left coiled springs pull.
Get a qualified family member to read and the pass on the series of color bands to us.(Unless color blinding is genetically engrained )
An estimation of 63 ma @ a full 250 voltage level for just a resistor would be approx 4K but MANY other factors in over rating or derating from that being a specific value, because they don't do it that way.
Belfuse shows using an approximate 29 ohm resistor inside of some of their fuses for that current/voltage application.
Get us the colors.
Also the brand logo if on the cap . . .my example is an "over the waters" brand.
63 ma is a common instrument value and its type is of a slow/delay interrupt.

Hi Saucey,
63ma at 250v is approx 3.9K
At 220v it is apprx 3.5K.

Oops, Edd replied too..

This is what it looks like. Thanks for the input!

Saucey,
That is just a time-lag (slow blow fuse).
Look at the markings "63mA 250V"
There should be a "T" or "TT" mark left to 63.

Parrallax + reflections yields a ? 91?? 81??11??10?? value.

So just break off the left end cap and take an ohmmic reading, just for satisfying curiosity , as its being a metal film resistor and had only reached approx 160 deg F to trip.
( "spell check" . . . . . it don't knose "ohmmic" . . . . . eithers.

Considering a like thermal delay, and If my turkey to baste ,I would just be using this Bel fuse family item.

I wonder why it just doesn't have a coiled element like other time delay fuses?

I can't make out the colors either. Looks like a gold band where it don't belong.

I'm with 73 de Edd,... take a hammer to it and take a reading.

that looks ok

brn rd (bk?) gold

12 Ohms 5%
looks like a black but am not 100 %
as others said break and measure

crap .... didn't see the thumbnail wish ppl would do full size as well
I will sort that out

White, black, yellow, gold, brown?
90.4 ohm 1%?
