NTE03-013L

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-013L is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a 10mm diameter bead with a nominal resistance of 13 Ohms at 25°C and a tolerance of ±15%. The component supports a steady-state current of 3 Amperes and is housed in a radial leaded package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective suppression of high inrush currents during power-up sequences to protect downstream circuitry.
• Exhibits negative temperature coefficient characteristics, where resistance decreases significantly as operating temperature rises.
• Utilizes a robust ceramic construction capable of withstanding repeated thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Transformer protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official YAGEO documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging configurations.
