Good afternoon,
You have to be careful if you buy BS1362 on EBay due to fake copies. I bought some once and wished I hadn’t. They looked identical and had a reputable company name printed on them though I was suspicious when I looked closely at them. I broke one open and found no arc suppressing sand inside. I binned the lot and instead bought them from RS components who definitely would not sell suspect safety critical parts. Also RS sell 1A and 2A BS1362 fuses which are not often found but a better rating than 3A fuses for low power devices,
