Hi Gerald, Agree :) But at least consider a bigger fuse, a 250mA would be perfect. Those PTCs are not very good when current is near maximum point. They not actually switch, but increase their resistance due to natural construction and revert very slowly to initial condition (minutes). BTW this one has 4.5 ohms in normal state so when a big HDMI consumer will draw there will be no more +5V anyhow. My reason is quite simple... I spent around 45 euro for board with all taxes and another 20 or more for cheapest HDMI adapter I found. So almost 50% from price and I see no point to spent more for a better adapter.
