Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the custom nature of this part number against official Vishay Ametherm documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 100 Ohm resistance and 22mm dimensions align precisely with your circuit design requirements. Ensure the 135°C temperature rating meets your operational environment standards. Cross-reference the 25% tolerance specifications with your system's sensitivity thresholds to guarantee reliable performance under all expected load conditions.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when standard ICL values do not meet specific circuit impedance or physical space constraints. The custom designation indicates non-standard parameters requiring explicit confirmation. Consider the high-cycle durability for applications with frequent power cycling. Evaluate the 22mm size against available board real estate. Ensure the voltage rating exceeds the peak transient voltages present in the target application to prevent component failure.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component belongs to the Vishay Ametherm line of inrush current limiters, which are specialized PTC thermistors. These devices are distinct from general-purpose resistors, focusing on transient energy absorption. The CL series typically offers robust protection for industrial and commercial power systems. Vishay Ametherm emphasizes reliability and longevity in these modules, targeting applications where repeated surge events occur without compromising component integrity over time.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Due to the custom designation, direct substitutes may not exist. Consult Vishay Ametherm for equivalent custom configurations. Standard CL series parts may differ in resistance or dimensions. Verify electrical characteristics match exactly before substitution.
