Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific B-parameter value against the official datasheet, as sources indicate variations such as 2500 K or 2800 K. Confirm that the 3 A rating aligns with your circuit's steady-state requirements. Ensure the 10 Ohm resistance matches the design specifications for inrush control. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 Ohm resistance and 3 A current handling capability are required for inrush protection. Consider the 2800 K B-parameter for temperature-resistance calculations. The 11 mm size fits standard through-hole mounting. Verify compatibility with 50/60 Hz AC systems. Ensure the thermal characteristics meet the application's heat dissipation needs.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL family of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current limitation. These components are widely used in power electronics to protect sensitive downstream components from high initial charging currents. The ICL series offers various resistance and current ratings to suit different power levels.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Eaton ICL series parts with matching 10 Ohm resistance and similar current ratings, such as ICL100D11MIB or ICL471D11MIB, provided their electrical parameters align with the circuit requirements. Always verify dimensional and thermal compatibility before substitution.
