Title: Fuses in SMart String Hub
Post by: lrhorer on January 08, 2016,

I very recently acquired a Smart String hub with 11 blown fuses.  The fuses are soldered in on these hubs, so replacing them would be a pain in the best of situations, but the bulk of them are stuck 'way down in between the RJ-45 connectors.  Those are going to be a real bear to replace.  What I am going to do is install some 2mm banana connectors so if any more fuses blow I can just pull them, solder male plugs on the new fuses, and plug in the new fuses.  It will work, but it will be bulky and a bit clumsy.  Could we maybe come up with a socket configuration that would allow the fuses to be plugged in, rather than soldered?

A lot of folks just leave the blown fuse in place and on the bottom of the board solder another fuse.  If that one blows it is very easy to unsolder and put another one in place.
