Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Beta tolerance class and lead material against the official Eaton datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 13 mm body size fits the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating voltage and peak current ratings exceed the application's maximum transient requirements to prevent component failure during switch-on events.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this part when a 4 Ohm resistance at reference temperature is required for low-voltage inrush limiting. The 2700 K Beta constant suits applications needing moderate sensitivity to temperature changes compared to higher Beta variants. Consider the 13 mm form factor for available board space. Compare with other ICL series members if different resistance or size options are needed.
