I have the Auber SYL-2352 and would like to protect it with a fuse. What size of fuse would be best to protect it?

I read CodeRage's https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/electrical-primer-brewers-145019/ and know I want a fast acting fuse. According to the SYL-2352 Manual, the power draw of the PID is <=5W. At 120v, that would mean the amperage would be 0.042A or 42mA. Using CodeRage's 125%-150% rule, I should be looking for a fuse between 52.5mA and 63mA. Is my math correct? Do they even make fuses that small?

Thanks in advance.
