Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against official documentation, as variants like N08SP020M-F may exist with distinct packaging or compliance attributes. Confirm RoHS status and availability constraints directly with authorized distributors, as supply conditions can vary by region and date. Ensure the selected part number matches the exact electrical parameters required for the target application circuit design.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 20 Ohm resistance value and 2 A current handling capability. Consider the 11 mm diameter size for spatial constraints on the PCB layout. Evaluate the -40 C to +170 C operating range against environmental conditions. Compare with other series members like N08SP008M or N08SP022M if different resistance or current ratings are needed.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the SP series of NTC thermistors manufactured by YAGEO. These components are specialized for electronic protection and control applications. The series includes various resistance values and physical sizes to accommodate different power and current requirements in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations
