Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer protection circuits
• Electronic equipment surge suppression

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Beta constant and physical dimensions against the official Eaton datasheet, as distributor listings may vary between 2550 K/2600 K values and 7mm/8.5mm sizes. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free requirements prior to ordering to ensure alignment with project specifications and regulatory standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 5 Ohm resistance and 3 A current handling capability. Ensure the 8.50 mm diameter fits the PCB layout constraints. Validate that the Beta value matches the thermal management calculations for the specific application environment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL family of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current limiting. These components are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial power supplies to mitigate high initial charging currents that could otherwise damage sensitive downstream components or cause circuit breaker tripping.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other ICL series parts having similar 5 Ohm resistance and 3 A ratings. Verify dimensional compatibility and electrical parameters before substituting.
