 		 #184976 - maybe it is
Responding to: ???'s previous message
This circuit isn't intended to protect against fast transient, it's meant to protect against plugging in the wrong supply!

maybe it is

it's all coming back. The speed of the SCR was insufficient to protect when a punch-through in the regulator made the Vcc line 24V

         no, the fuse blew            01/01/70 00:00      
            Polyfuse - OMG            01/01/70 00:00      
               And manufacturing tolerances can ruin the design...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Why not using...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Like shown here, e.g.,...            01/01/70 00:00
