glass tube fuses

Does anybody know the correct nomenclature for the small size glass tube fuses that the manufacturers put in the panels of the newer gliders? I need to order a couple of 2A spare fuses and I am not sure what they call that physical size.

There are a couple of different sizes in use, 3AG is most common. The fast way to replace is at the local auto parts store.

Read that again... European manufacturer probably using Euro size, not 3AG. But in any case, McMaster Carr describes them all.

Mine are 5 mm diameter, 20 mm length, smaller than 3AG.

European small glass tube fuses (mostly used in electronics) are
measured 5mmØ x 20mm or 6.3mmØ x 32mm , the first size being the most
common.

Yet the "European" fuses sold by McMaster are 10 x 38 mm. Sounds like
the OP would be well advised to actually measure what he has.

Schleicher uses 5x20. Also it is important if they are slow blow or fast blow. Make sure you read the fine print.

I know them as "DIN" fuses, but the package the 5 x 20 fuses came in says they are
"GMA type".
