You think that melted spot on the fuse cover comes from the factory
that way? ;-)

Woody, make sure your contacts are squeaky clean -- it's the lip of
the central hole that actually makes the contact.  And if you can,
use one of the Littelfuse glasss-cased fuses for that circuit.  I
think the designation is GBC-16.  They don't tarnish the way the
uncased fuses do.

Yrs,
