There were two wire-sockets that its leads plugged into. I dug out my notes to find out the specifics. My counter is an HP 5334B with Option 1, the high stability oscillator. The oscillator is one of the HP 10811 series. The original thermal fuse, F1, was rated for 108 degrees C. HP revised the part to one rated for 115 degrees C, part number 2110-0617 (10811-80003). The Radio Shack thermal fuse was 270-1322A, rated for 128 degrees C. There is also an NTE Electronics NTE8115, "Thermal Cut-Off", rated for 117 degrees C. Either is larger than the HP part, and is a tight fit. I wrapped them in electrical tape to protect against short circuits. When soldering to the high-value resistors, I clamped the fuse leads in a pair of pliers held with rubber bands. Of course this may not apply to your counter if it doesn't have the crystal oven!
