Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D11 to confirm lead spacing and package configuration matches the design requirements. Ensure the selected component meets RoHS3 compliance standards if required by the manufacturing process. Cross-reference the steady-state current rating against the application's continuous operating conditions to prevent thermal failure.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required initial resistance value and the maximum allowable inrush current limit. Confirm that the physical footprint accommodates the specified lead spacing and disk diameter. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities within the target enclosure to ensure reliable long-term operation under steady-state loads.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the MF72 series of NTC thermistors manufactured by Cantherm. These components are specifically engineered as inrush current limiters rather than standard temperature sensors.
