[GreenKeys] Fuse question for ASR 33

[drlegendre .]

Brad,

Both MDQ and MDL are 'slow-blow' types. The MDQ is the dual-element type
(coil spring & filament + metal block), wheras the MDL is single-element
(single coil wound around a fiber core).

Take a look at this page: https://www.flippers.com/fuses.html

He lays it out pretty simply, and also links to the relevant Bussman
datasheet. But in short, either should be OK for your uses. I have 3A slow
MDL types here, not many, but a couple spares. They are pretty common,
though, on eBay.
