NF13AA0709M--

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The KYOCERA AVX NF13AA0709M-- is a radial lead-inrush current limiter (ICL) designed to protect electronic circuits from high surge currents during power-up. It features a nominal resistance of 7 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20% and supports a maximum steady-state current of 3.7 Amperes. The component utilizes a 13 mm diameter body, providing robust thermal mass for energy absorption. It operates within a standard temperature range suitable for general industrial and consumer applications requiring reliable inrush protection.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective suppression of high inrush currents during initial power application
• Features a compact 13 mm radial design for easy integration into various PCB layouts
• Offers stable resistance characteristics under normal operating conditions

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Consumer electronics devices
• Industrial control systems

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific resistance value and current rating against the circuit requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 13 mm package size fits the designated footprint on the printed circuit board. Ensure the manufacturer part number matches exactly to avoid compatibility issues with existing designs or replacement components.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 7 Ohm nominal resistance is required for inrush limiting. Consider the 3.7 A current capacity to ensure it exceeds the peak operating current of the load. Evaluate the physical space constraints to accommodate the 13 mm diameter body and radial leads during assembly.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component belongs to the family of inrush current limiters manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. These devices are essential for protecting sensitive downstream components from damage caused by sudden current spikes. The NF series specifically offers standardized sizes and electrical characteristics for widespread use in power management applications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 7 Ohm resistance, 3.7 A current rating, and 13 mm diameter. Verify lead spacing and mounting orientation compatibility. Check datasheets for equivalent thermal performance and resistance stability curves to ensure identical circuit behavior.
