Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official datasheet to ensure correct thermal and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the 120 Ohm resistance value aligns with the target circuit's inrush limitation calculations. Ensure the 1.2 A continuous current rating meets the operational demands of the application without exceeding thermal limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed resistance value of 120 Ohms is required for inrush management. Consider the 1.2 A current rating to ensure it handles the steady-state load without overheating. Evaluate the 11.5 mm package size for compatibility with the available PCB footprint and assembly processes.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part is categorized under Inrush Current Limiters within the KYOCERA AVX portfolio. It serves as a passive protection element, distinct from active switching solutions. The component utilizes thermistor technology to provide high initial resistance that decreases as current flows and temperature rises.
