ICL201D30MIC

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The ICL201D30MIC is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) inrush current limiter from the Eaton ICL family. It features a nominal resistance of 20 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The component supports a steady-state current of 7 Amperes and has a physical length of 1.339 inches (34.00 mm). Designed for bulk packaging, this device utilizes lead-style construction to manage initial surge currents in electronic circuits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of high inrush currents during power-up sequences
• Utilizes NTC material properties to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Supports continuous operation at specified steady-state current levels

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer primary circuit protection
• Capacitive load switching applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical ratings against the official Eaton datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 20 Ohm resistance and 7 A current capacity align with the target circuit requirements. Ensure the 34.00 mm form factor fits the mechanical constraints of the assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product deployment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when the application requires managing surge currents up to 7 Amperes. The 20 Ohm resistance value determines the peak current limiting capability during the initial charging phase. Consider the thermal characteristics and steady-state dissipation capabilities to ensure reliable long-term operation within the intended operating environment without exceeding maximum temperature limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL series of inrush current limiters. These components are engineered to protect sensitive electronic equipment from damage caused by excessive initial current flow. The ICL201D30MIC variant specifically offers a higher resistance and current rating compared to lower-numbered counterparts in the same family.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 20 Ohm resistance, 7 A current rating, and 34.00 mm length. Verify compatibility with the ICL family specifications to ensure identical thermal and electrical performance characteristics in the circuit.
