Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official TDK documentation to ensure accuracy, as legacy EPCOS identifiers may require cross-referencing. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required resistance and tolerance specifications for your design. Check RoHS compliance details directly on the datasheet before procurement. Ensure the ordering suffix aligns with the desired packaging format, such as tape and reel or cut tape, to match assembly requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective NTC solution is needed for low-power inrush current limiting. The 16 Ohm resistance value suits specific circuit impedance requirements. Verify that the 265 VRMS series connection limit meets system voltage needs. Consider the radial lead spacing and package dimensions for PCB layout compatibility. Ensure the operating temperature range covers the intended environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the B57153S series of NTC thermistors produced by TDK Electronics, formerly EPCOS. The S153 series designation indicates specific physical and electrical characteristics tailored for inrush current protection. TDK acquired EPCOS, integrating these components into its broader passive device portfolio. This part represents a standard offering for protecting sensitive electronics from startup current spikes.
