Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required resistance tolerance and thermal characteristics for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required steady-state resistance and maximum continuous current handling capabilities. Evaluate the thermal dissipation requirements within the target enclosure to ensure the 2.5 W power rating remains sufficient under worst-case operating conditions. Confirm that the radial lead spacing aligns with the printed circuit board layout constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component is part of YAGEO's SP series of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current control. These devices are manufactured to provide reliable protection against high initial charging currents in capacitive loads. The series offers various resistance values and physical sizes to accommodate different power levels and installation spaces.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10 Ohm resistance, 3 A current rating, and 2.5 W power dissipation. Verify that alternative components offer compatible radial lead spacing and operate within the same temperature range.
