Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version provided by the manufacturer or authorized distributor before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the 5 Ohm resistance value and 4 A current rating align precisely with the target circuit requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +170°C meets the environmental conditions of the intended application. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-resistance NTC thermistor is needed for high-current inrush limiting. The 5 Ohm resistance value suits applications requiring moderate initial impedance. The 4 A current rating allows handling significant startup currents without thermal damage. Consider the 13.5 mm diameter for available board space. The radial package facilitates easy insertion into standard PCB layouts.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part is part of YAGEO's SP series of NTC thermistors. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings for different power management needs. The N10SP005M-F specifically targets applications requiring 5 Ohm resistance at room temperature. It complements other parts in the series like N10SP001M-F and N10SP007M which offer different resistance and current profiles.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include N10SP001M-F for lower resistance and N10SP007M for higher resistance. Cross-series alternatives from other manufacturers may exist but require verification of electrical parameters and physical dimensions. Ensure any replacement maintains the 4 A current rating and 2.5 W power dissipation capability.
