Circuit breakers that take place of spade fuses.

Just found this & thought I would share, I haven't used them, so I can'
t comment on them. But they take the place of a normal spade type plastic fuse:

Do they automatically reset or do you have to flick a little switch on them to get them to reset?

If they automatically reset, I wouldn't use them in place of a regular fuse. Then circuit would keep coming back to life and the short (or whatever caused the blowout) would keep tripping it. Don't know if that would cause damage to any of the components.

I did use a resetable breaker like that at my engine cutoff switch where I had a keep alive jumper for the computer. It was helpful when I'd try to start the car, but forgot to flip the switch. It would trip so the car couldn't start, but I didn't have to get back into the trunk to change a fuse everytime I forgot.
