ICL600D20MIC

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The ICL600D20MIC is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor from the Eaton Electronics ICL series, designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 6 Ohms at standard reference conditions and utilizes a Beta value of 3050 K for temperature-resistance characterization. The component has a bead diameter of 20 mm and is supplied in bulk packaging. It carries J tolerance for Beta parameters and adheres to B1 Beta definition standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Beta constant and tolerance class against the manufacturer datasheet before integration. Confirm that the thermal dissipation characteristics align with the target circuit's peak current requirements. Ensure the physical dimensions fit the designated PCB footprint.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 Ohm initial resistance is required for inrush control. Consider the 20 mm size constraint for mechanical clearance. Evaluate the 3050 K Beta value for accuracy within the operating temperature range relative to alternative series options.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Eaton ICL family of NTC thermistors. These components are specialized for managing high startup currents in electronic systems. The designation indicates specific electrical and physical attributes distinct from other variants in the product line.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with ICL400D20MIC or ICL800D20MIC if resistance values require adjustment. Verify compatibility with ICL601D15MIC only if dimensional changes are acceptable.
