Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-F' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free requirements. Ensure the selected packaging format matches the project's assembly needs, as bulk or box quantities may vary by distributor. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to confirm availability status, as components in this series may be subject to obsolescence or supply chain adjustments.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required steady-state resistance and the maximum surge current expected during startup. Verify that the thermal dissipation capabilities align with the ambient operating conditions, considering the self-heating effect at rated current. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 7.5 mm lead spacing and the 13 mm body diameter without interference from adjacent components.
