N20SP007L

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The N20SP007L is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor manufactured by YAGEO, classified as an Inrush Current Limiter (ICL). It belongs to the SP series and features a radial leaded package designed for PCB mounting. The component has a nominal resistance of 7 Ohms with a tolerance of 15%. It supports a continuous current rating of 6 Amperes and a power rating of 4.5 Watts. The physical dimensions include a diameter of 20 mm and a width of 6 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +170°C.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective inrush current limiting during power-up sequences
• Features negative temperature coefficient characteristics for self-regulating resistance
• Designed for robust PCB mounting applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Transformer protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official YAGEO documentation to confirm lead type and packaging details. Ensure the selected distributor provides valid RoHS compliance information. Confirm availability status directly with the supplier as distribution channels may vary by region.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 7 Ohm cold resistance and 6 A steady-state current capacity. Verify that the 20 mm diameter fits the available PCB space. Check thermal management requirements to ensure the 170°C maximum operating temperature is sufficient for the application environment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part is part of YAGEO's SP series of NTC thermistors. These components are specifically engineered for inrush current limiting rather than temperature sensing. They differ from standard NTC sensors by their higher current handling capabilities and specific resistance profiles optimized for transient suppression.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other YAGEO SP series parts such as N10SP007L or N25SP007M for similar resistance values but different current ratings. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting.
