N10SP016L-F

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO N10SP016L-F is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor belonging to the SP series, designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a radial leaded package with a disc diameter of 10 mm and a width of 6 mm. The component has a nominal resistance of 16 Ohms at standard reference conditions with a tolerance of ±15%. It supports a maximum steady-state current of 2 A and dissipates up to 2.5 W of power. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +170°C and utilizes a 5 mm lead spacing for PCB mounting.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official YAGEO documentation to ensure correct tolerance and packaging specifications. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required electrical parameters for your design. Check regional availability status as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 16 Ohm resistance value and 2 A current rating to match the specific inrush current profile of the target circuit. Consider the 2.5 W power dissipation capability to ensure adequate thermal management under continuous operation. Verify the physical dimensions fit the available PCB footprint and clearance constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the YAGEO SP series of NTC thermistors, which are specialized for inrush current limiting. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings to suit different power levels. The N10SP016L-F specifically addresses applications requiring moderate surge suppression with a 10 mm disc size.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NTC thermistors with similar 16 Ohm resistance, 2 A current rating, and 10 mm diameter. Ensure any replacement maintains the same radial lead spacing and operating temperature range. Verify that alternative parts meet the same power dissipation requirements.
