Are these Fuses?

[phillpot]

Bought a BMW Mini fuse box off Ebay, cheap source of some decent quality relays and blade fuses, also had these "things"? Guess they are some kind of fuse

I don't recognise them. If they have two terminals and low resistance between them, they might be fusible links. Do they have '50' written on them? That might indicate a 50A rating.

One pink one with "30" on it and the rest are red with "50"

Google shows similar looking things in the engine bay fuse box as fuses FL6 - FL12 with various ratings from 30A to 50A.

Never seen them before in all my trouble and strife

They are fuses yes. Used on plenty of cars these days including mx5s.

They are J-Case fuses, very widely used on modern cars. They have a longer time delay than blade fuses, so more suitable for loads with high surge currents.

Every days a school day!

Thanks for the replies.
