NTD04-006LF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTD04-006LF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 6 Ohms with a tolerance of ±15% and a maximum steady-state current rating of 4 Amperes. The component utilizes an 8mm lead spacing configuration, suitable through-hole mounting. This device provides effective protection against high initial surge currents during power-up sequences.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides reliable inrush current limitation to protect sensitive electronic components
• Utilizes NTC material properties for rapid resistance reduction after startup
• Supports steady-state operation up to 4 Amperes

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Consumer electronics power inputs
• Industrial control system protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package dimensions and lead spacing compatibility with your PCB layout before ordering. Confirm that the 6 Ohm resistance value aligns with your circuit's thermal and electrical requirements. Ensure the 4A current rating exceeds the maximum expected inrush current of your application to prevent component failure.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-resistance inrush limiter is required for moderate current applications. Compare the 6 Ohm baseline resistance against other series options to balance surge suppression effectiveness with normal operating losses. Verify the 8mm lead pitch matches your assembly process constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to YAGEO's NT series of NTC thermistors. These components are specifically engineered for inrush current limiting rather than temperature sensing. The LF suffix indicates compliance with specific environmental standards, distinguishing it from non-compliant variants within the same product family.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6 Ohm resistance, 4A current rating, and 8mm lead spacing. Verify that alternative manufacturers provide equivalent I-V characteristics and thermal time constants to ensure identical circuit behavior.
