This is a standard type used mostly for diesel glow plug circuits. Most
world diesel auto applications use them. Many FLAPS (NAPA fer sur) have
these in the form of an assortment of various ratings on a bubble pack pick
board. The 50 amp is used on most Mercedes diesels throught the 70's. Ask
for a 240D glow plut fuze at the Dealer.
