Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific RoHS compliance status and environmental declarations directly against the manufacturer's official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 120 Ohm resistance value and 1 A current rating align with the thermal management requirements of the target application design. Ensure the radial lead pitch matches the printed circuit board layout specifications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 120 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak charging currents. Consider the 2.5 W power dissipation capability relative to the expected steady-state operating conditions. Evaluate the 13.5 mm diameter and 5 mm lead spacing against available board space constraints. Verify compatibility with the intended soldering process and maximum operating temperature limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the YAGEO SP series of NTC thermistors. These components are specifically engineered for inrush current limiting duties rather than precision temperature sensing. The series offers various resistance values tailored to different current handling requirements while maintaining consistent physical form factors for standardized mounting solutions.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult the official YAGEO product documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the same series or equivalent specifications from other manufacturers. Do not assume interchangeability based solely on resistance values; verify thermal characteristics and mechanical dimensions.
