ICL101D13MIC

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The ICL101D13MIC is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor from the Eaton ICL family, designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 10 Ohms at standard reference conditions and utilizes a Beta value of 2850 K for temperature characterization. The component has a physical size of 13 mm with I-type leads and offers a beta tolerance of J. Rated for a maximum steady-state current of 4 A, it provides robust protection against high initial current surges in electronic circuits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect sensitive components during power-up
• Utilizes NTC material properties to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Features I-type leads for through-hole mounting applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer primary circuit protection
• Capacitor charging circuit limiting

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical parameters against the official Eaton datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 10 Ohm resistance and 4 A current rating align with the target circuit requirements. Ensure the 13 mm package size fits the mechanical constraints. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit surge currents up to 4 Amperes. The 2850 K Beta value indicates specific thermal sensitivity suitable for general-purpose inrush limiting. Consider the 13 mm body size for adequate heat dissipation and mechanical stability in the intended assembly.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL series of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current control. These devices are distinct from precision temperature sensing thermistors, focusing instead on energy absorption and current limitation capabilities within power electronics systems.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult Eaton documentation for direct cross-reference equivalents. Verify that any substitute maintains the 10 Ohm resistance, 4 A rating, and 13 mm form factor to ensure circuit compatibility.
