Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Beta parameter value against the official datasheet, as variations exist within the ICL series. Confirm lead type and physical dimensions match the design requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable. Check manufacturing lead times prior to ordering. Validate that the 1 Ohm resistance rating aligns with the circuit's thermal and electrical constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required steady-state resistance and peak current handling capabilities. Consider the Beta parameter for temperature sensitivity matching. Evaluate the physical size constraints for PCB layout. Compare alternative ICL variants with different resistance values or body sizes if the 1 Ohm specification does not fit the application needs. Verify compatibility with soldering processes.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL series of NTC thermistors, which are widely used for inrush current control. The series offers various resistance values and body sizes to accommodate different power levels. The ICL100D15MIC specifically targets applications requiring low initial resistance with moderate current handling, fitting into the broader portfolio of Eaton's passive electronic components.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other ICL series parts with similar 1 Ohm resistance and 15 mm size, such as ICL100D15MIB, provided the Beta parameter and tolerance specifications are compatible. Verify lead form and package style before substitution.
