Yeesh.

The problem is, altering the resistance would presumably significantly alter the I^2*T performance....which I have yet to see any of these boutique fuse manufacturers talking about.

I'm pretty sure I know what my insurance agent would have to say about throwing unlisted /unregisterred fuses in my gear....especially when I can't show the math proving the level of safety acomplished by the OEM's design isn't being compromised by using one of these fuses.

Besides...how is resistance even supposed to be directional for crying out loud? Changing orientation doesn't change the performance of a resistor.
