AS3250006

Overview

The AS3250006 is an inrush current limiter from the MS series by Vishay Ametherm. It features a nominal resistance of 50 Ohms with a tolerance of ±25%. The device supports a steady-state current of 6 A and utilizes 16 AWG leads. The component has a diameter of 32 mm (1.181 inches) and is UL approved for safety compliance.

Feature Summary

• Suppresses high inrush current surges to protect downstream components
• Designed for DIN block mounting requiring only a screwdriver
• UL approved for enhanced safety certification

Applications

• Power control box installations
• DIN rail mounted equipment
• Electrical systems requiring surge suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct lead length and packaging configuration. Confirm that the 50 Ohm resistance and 6 A current rating align with the system's thermal and electrical requirements before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32 mm diameter NTC thermistor is required for applications involving DIN block integration. Ensure the 50 Ohm initial resistance and 6 A continuous current capacity meet the circuit's peak load specifications without exceeding thermal limits during operation.

Part Context
