Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing date code and lot traceability upon order confirmation. Confirm that the bulk packaging format aligns with your assembly line requirements. Ensure the supplier provides valid RoHS compliance documentation consistent with current environmental regulations. Cross-reference the part number against the latest manufacturer datasheet to confirm any recent design revisions or parameter updates before finalizing procurement.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires a 14 ohm initial impedance to limit surge current up to 3 amperes. The 10 mm form factor suits through-hole mounting on standard PCB layouts. Evaluate the thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the ambient operating temperature to ensure the device remains within safe operating limits during continuous operation cycles.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the YAGEO NT series of NTC thermistors. These components are engineered specifically for inrush current limiting duties. The series offers various resistance values to match different circuit voltage and current profiles. The NTE03-014M represents a mid-range option within the 10 mm package family.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the YAGEO NTE03-011M and NTE03-016MF. Verify that alternative parts maintain identical 10 mm dimensions and 3A current ratings to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without requiring PCB layout modifications.
