Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the N10SP020M-F to confirm RoHS compliance status and detailed thermal curves. Ensure the selected component matches the required 2.5 W power rating and 2 A current handling capacity for the target circuit design. Cross-reference the 13.5 mm diameter and 5 mm lead spacing against the PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak charging currents. The 2.5 W power rating allows for sustained operation under moderate load conditions. Consider the 13.5 mm body size for adequate heat dissipation. Verify that the 2 A current rating exceeds the maximum expected inrush current of the application to prevent component failure.
