N13SP010M

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO N13SP010M is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor belonging to the SP series, designed primarily as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 10 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The component supports a continuous current rating of 4 A and has a power rating of 3 W. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +200°C. Physical dimensions include a disc diameter of 16 mm and a width of 6 mm, with a radial lead spacing of 7.5 mm.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect electronic circuits from high initial surge currents during power-up.
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics where resistance decreases significantly as temperature rises.
• Constructed for PCB mounting with radial leads to facilitate integration into standard assembly processes.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages for surge protection
• Motor drive circuit initialization
• Consumer electronics power management

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the N13SP010M part number to ensure correct resistance and current ratings. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if required by project specifications. Check datasheet for thermal derating curves relevant to the intended operating environment to prevent component failure under sustained load conditions.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 Ohm nominal resistance at room temperature is required for inrush limiting applications. Ensure the expected steady-state current does not exceed the 4 A rating. Consider the 16 mm diameter for board space allocation and verify that the operating temperature range up to 200°C aligns with the thermal profile of the target application.
