Curiois.: Where are those kinds of fuses used?
In the UK. I've only ever seen those in cars.
Mostly vehicles, but they're a cheap and common choice for hobby electronics too.
I've seen a little 3A fuse of that style on a furnace control board. It actually saved the day when a thermostat/wiring had a short at a neighbor's house, so there's that.
