NTE03-011M

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-011M is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 11 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20% and a continuous current rating of 3 Amperes. The component has a cylindrical body diameter of 10 mm and utilizes radial leads for through-hole mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, providing reliable protection against high initial current surges in electronic circuits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of high inrush currents during power-up phases
• Utilizes NTC material properties to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Designed for robust through-hole PCB integration with radial lead configuration

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages for surge protection
• Transformer primary circuit current limiting
• Motor drive input protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements for your application, as variants like NTE03-011LF may exist with different packaging or compliance attributes. Confirm that the 11 Ohm resistance and 3A current rating align with your circuit's thermal and electrical constraints. Ensure the 10mm package size fits your board layout. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when an 11 Ohm cold resistance is appropriate for the target circuit impedance. The 3A rating must exceed the expected steady-state operating current. Consider the thermal dissipation capabilities of the PCB copper area, as the device relies on self-heating to lower resistance. Verify that the 10mm diameter accommodates mechanical clearance and spacing requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to YAGEO's NTC thermistor series, specifically engineered for inrush current limiting. These components are distinct from standard sensing thermistors, focusing instead on energy absorption and current control during transient events. The NTE series typically offers standardized dimensions and electrical characteristics for common industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Variants such as NTE03-011LF share similar electrical specifications but may differ in packaging or regulatory compliance details. Cross-referencing requires verification of exact physical dimensions and lead configurations.
