ICL070D30MIC

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The ICL070D30MIC is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor from the Eaton Electronics ICL family, designed for inrush current limiting. It features a nominal resistance of 0.7 ohms and a beta value of 2750 K with J tolerance. The component has a maximum steady-state current rating of 30 A and an overall length of 34.00 mm (1.339 inches). It utilizes I-lead configuration and adheres to B1 beta definition standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective inrush current limitation during power-up sequences
• Features negative temperature coefficient characteristics for self-regulating thermal response
• Utilizes I-lead configuration for secure mechanical mounting

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer primary circuits
• Motor drive protection
• General electronic equipment surge suppression

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Eaton documentation to confirm lead type and tolerance specifications. Ensure that the thermal environment and steady-state current requirements align with the 30 A rating. Cross-reference the beta value and resistance tolerances with circuit design parameters before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a low initial resistance of 0.7 ohms is required to manage high inrush currents up to 30 A. The 30 mm body size and 34 mm total length must fit within the designated enclosure space. Confirm compatibility with the system's operating temperature range and the specific beta constant needed for accurate thermal modeling.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL series of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current control. These components are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics to protect sensitive downstream components from damage caused by high initial charging currents during startup phases.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Eaton ICL series parts with matching electrical ratings, such as ICL070D20MIC or ICL070D15MIC, provided the physical dimensions and current handling capabilities meet the application requirements.
