Component Identification

Hi All,
I am repairing a circuit board. I have gone thru most of it and replaced several components like diodes and capacitors to update it but now I am stumped. I have a component that looks like a diode but the symbol on it looks like it might be a transistor. I have never seen a symbol like this. It's the last thing I need to replace to get my board active again. It steps down or regulates 120v. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

160mA fuse?
Does it measure short circuit or open circuit?

It measures open. No resistance whatsoever. I did not test for a voltage drop when it was in the circuit.

I really didn't think about it being a fuse or fuseable link. The symbol is really throwing me off. It is a new symbol to me. I might try a fuse and see if it comes alive.
Thanks

The 'symbol' isn't any such thing, it's just a manufacturers logo - but it's clearly marked 160mA, so it couldn't be much else than a fuse.

However, I've never seen a fuse like it - and while I've seen LOT'S of different types, there's always something obscure comes along that you've never seen before.

What actually is the circuit board?.
