Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as this part number is listed as discontinued or end-of-life in official distributor records. Confirm if the suffix variant N15SP008L-F is available as a potential alternative source. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements by checking specific documentation details before finalizing procurement plans.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current inrush limiter with 8 Ohm nominal resistance is required. Verify that the 7 A current rating and 4 W power dissipation meet the specific application's peak load demands. Ensure the 18 mm diameter fits within the designated PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component belongs to the YAGEO SP series of NTC thermistors specifically engineered for inrush current limiting applications. It serves as a passive protective element in electronic systems, contrasting with standard signal-grade thermistors used for temperature sensing. The series provides robust performance for handling high initial currents.
