Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Eaton documentation to ensure accuracy. Confirm that the required electrical parameters, including the 2.5 Ohm resistance and 6 A current rating, align with the design specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the bulk packaging format meets the production handling requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.5 Ohm resistance value and a 6 A current capacity are required for inrush limiting. The 13 mm diameter size must fit within the available board space. Consider the J beta tolerance and B1 beta definition if precise thermal modeling is necessary for the application environment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL family of NTC thermistors. These components are specifically engineered to limit surge currents in power supplies and other electronic loads. The ICL series offers various resistance values and sizes to accommodate different circuit requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Eaton ICL series parts having similar 2.5 Ohm resistance and 6 A ratings. Verify that any substitute matches the 13 mm diameter and lead-style termination to maintain mechanical compatibility.
