Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm packaging details and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the selected distributor provides authentic components with traceable origin. Cross-reference the part number with official YAGEO catalogs to confirm availability and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak charging currents. Confirm that the 3 A continuous current rating meets the operational load requirements. Verify that the 13.5 mm diameter fits within the designated PCB footprint and clearance constraints. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +170°C thermal limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component belongs to the YAGEO SP series of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current limiting applications. These devices are distinct from standard sensing thermistors by their ability to handle high energy pulses during startup. The series offers various resistance and current ratings to suit different power levels.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult official YAGEO documentation for direct cross-references. Potential substitutes may include other SP series variants with similar electrical parameters or equivalent products from other manufacturers meeting the same 16 Ohm, 3 A specifications.
