NTE03-016MF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-016MF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 5 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The component supports a maximum steady-state current of 4 Amperes and has a bead diameter of 10 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective inrush current limitation during power-up sequences
• Utilizes NTC material characteristics to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Designed for robust protection of sensitive electronic components

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Consumer electronics power inputs

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the NTE03-016MF to confirm electrical parameters such as steady-state current and resistance values, as distributor listings may vary. Ensure the application environment temperature remains within the specified operating range to prevent thermal runaway or insufficient current limiting performance.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 Ohm nominal resistance and 10 mm bead size are required for inrush current control. Consider the 4 A steady-state current rating against the circuit's operational load. Verify that the lead spacing and mounting style align with the PCB layout 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 temperature sensing thermistors, focusing instead on protecting circuits from high initial charging currents common in capacitive loads.
