N20SP025M

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO N20SP025M is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 25 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The component has a power rating of 5 W and a current rating of 6 A. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +170°C. The physical dimensions include a diameter of 20 mm, a width of 7.5 mm, and a lead spacing of 7.5 mm. It utilizes radial leads for PCB mounting.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect electronic circuits from high initial surge currents during power-up.
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics where resistance decreases significantly as temperature increases.
• Designed for robust thermal performance with a wide operating temperature range suitable for demanding environments.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply units
• Electronic ballasts
• Motor protection circuits

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements when ordering, as variants such as N20SP025M-F may exist with distinct packaging or marking specifications. Confirm that the selected component meets all relevant safety certifications required for your target market. Ensure compatibility with your PCB layout regarding lead spacing and mounting orientation before finalizing procurement decisions.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required steady-state resistance and maximum allowable inrush current for the specific circuit design. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities to ensure the device can handle the energy absorption without exceeding its maximum temperature limits. Consider the physical size constraints of the application to ensure proper fitment on the printed circuit board.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the SP series of NTC thermistors manufactured by YAGEO. These components are specialized for inrush current limiting rather than temperature sensing. The series offers various resistance values and physical sizes to accommodate different power levels and circuit requirements across industrial and consumer electronics.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the N20SP025M-F variant from YAGEO, which shares identical electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging or marking. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 25 Ohm resistance, 6 A current rating, and 20 mm diameter to ensure functional equivalence in inrush limiting applications.
