Agreed. No commercial fusible link wire smaller than 20 that I know of. Make yours out of 22AWG and cover in two layers of heat shrink. I'll test that configuration along with the COTS wires . . . but I'm confident the work-around will be fine. Bob . . .

It's available in several diameters as small as 3/16" from a U.S. seller... http://www.ebay.com/itm/194849574612 ...or as small as 1mm if you don't mind ordering from China and waiting awhile: http://www.ebay.com/itm/224016110766 For all eBay results use the search terms, "silicone fiberglass wire (sleeve,tube) -hose" (without quotes).
