Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm lead configuration and packaging details. Ensure the 5 Ohm resistance and 4.7A current ratings align with the target circuit design requirements before procurement.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when managing inrush current for AC/DC applications requiring a 5 Ohm initial impedance. Confirm that the 4.7A steady-state current capacity meets the operational load. Verify compatibility with the required voltage ratings of 115 VAC or 230 VAC.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

The CL-150B belongs to the CL series of inrush current limiters manufactured by Amphenol Advanced Sensors under the Thermometrics brand. This series provides NTC thermistors specifically engineered to protect electronic circuits from high initial surge currents during power-up phases.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for equivalent CL-series parts. Verify that any substitute maintains identical resistance, current ratings, and physical dimensions for direct replacement.
