Yeah, they are really designed as a safety device to handle long term overloads, rather than used like a normal fuse. Not sure what the minimum current rating is, but I doubt that they will really suit the OP desires. There are surface mount ones that might get close though. The other trick to them is that they are designed to work close to max current rating, but if you try and grossly exceed that, then they will act rapidly as they then heat up fast. Makes them good for protecting transformaers in power supplies from short circuit outputs, instead of using fuses. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
