It's also under circuit protection on the left side menu. BTW, the facility in Colorado just receives the completed orders from Thailand, stuffs them into envelopes, boxes, etc. and ships them out. No inventory is kept there. They used to use a facility on the East Coast.

Yeah, I saw that /after /I ordered them on line. Tayda turns up 0 if you
search polyfuse, which is what I searched for. Search "polyswitch" and
they pop up. I always check them first as they often ship from the
distribution facility in CO. The offer will still stand for anyone who
doesn't need extra stuff on the order.

The better news, you can get them all day long from Tayda for 16 cents
each. But they only have 119,418 of them in stock. To the US, shipping
from Tayda is only a week for their slow boat shipping. Tayda's minimum
order is $5, so for another $3 and change you can get that replacement nano!

All:
The good news: I just ordered a mega-munch of 3A, 30V polyfuses that I'd
be happy to share for $1, including domestic shipping.
The bad news: They're coming from China, so will likely be several
weeks. I'll make a post here after they've arrived.

Yup, a Polyfuse works great.
Can add a resistor and red LED across it as an idiot light so you know
when to execute the dope-slap.
(Can also do that for a fuse)
Though Farhan is looking for stuff that's easy to scrounge, doubt a
Polyfuse will make it into the next rev.
A small diode for both reverse protection and overcurrent protection on
the main rig might be the best bet.
