MF72-120D15

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The Cantherm MF72-120D15 is a power NTC thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter (ICL). It features a resistance of 120 Ohms at 25°C with a tolerance of ±20%. The component supports a maximum steady-state current of 1.8 A and has a diameter of 0.689 inches (17.50 mm). It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 200°C.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective inrush current limiting for power supply circuits
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics for self-regulating resistance
• Designed for through-hole mounting applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Electronic equipment protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D15 against official documentation to confirm lead wire configuration and package dimensions. Ensure the selected variant matches the required steady-state current rating of 1.8 A for the target circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when high initial resistance is required to limit surge currents in low-current applications. The 120 Ohm value suits designs needing significant impedance during startup. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements given the 1.8 A steady-state limit and physical size constraints.
