Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and physical dimensions against the manufacturer's official documentation before integration. Confirm that the thermal management requirements align with the component's power rating and operating temperature limits. Ensure the lead spacing matches the target PCB layout specifications to guarantee proper mounting and reliability.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak inrush currents up to 5 Amperes. Consider the 18 mm diameter and radial lead configuration for available board space. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the application's duty cycle and ambient temperature constraints to ensure long-term stability.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the SP series of NTC thermistors manufactured by YAGEO. These components are specialized passive devices intended for transient suppression rather than general signal processing.
