• Capacitive load switching applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the ICL301D15MIC to confirm electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the application environment temperature does not exceed the component's maximum operating limits. Cross-reference the 30 Ohm resistance and 3200 Beta value against design requirements. Confirm that the I lead style matches the PCB footprint or wire termination specifications required for the assembly process.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 Ohm cold resistance is required for inrush limiting. The 15 mm size and 3200 Beta value define the thermal response characteristics. Verify that the expected steady-state current remains within the device's rated capacity. Consider the ambient temperature range to ensure the resistance drop is sufficient for the application without overheating the component during normal operation.
