Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' indicates the required tolerance level against official datasheets. Confirm that the 1 A current rating aligns with the peak load requirements of the target circuit. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the final assembly.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 120 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit startup currents effectively. Consider the 2.5 W power dissipation capacity relative to the duty cycle of the application. Evaluate the 13.5 mm diameter for available board space constraints. Compare against other SP series variants if different resistance or current ratings are needed.
