NTE03-017L

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-017L is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 17 Ohms with a tolerance of ±15%. The component supports a maximum steady-state current of 3 Amperes and exhibits a cold resistance of 311 milliohms at that current level. It has a cylindrical body diameter of 10.00 mm (0.394 inches) with a lead spacing of 5.00 mm (0.197 inches).

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of inrush currents during power-up sequences.
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics for self-regulating thermal response.
• Constructed with radial leads for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages for surge protection
• Transformer inrush current limiting
• Capacitor charging circuits

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official YAGEO documentation to confirm lead configuration and packaging details. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified thermal limits for the 3A steady-state rating. Cross-reference the 17 Ohm nominal value with system design requirements to guarantee adequate inrush suppression performance.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 17 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak current to safe levels. The 3A steady-state capacity defines the continuous operating boundary. Consider the 10mm diameter for physical clearance and the ±15% tolerance for circuit variation analysis. Validate compatibility with the target PCB hole spacing of 5.00 mm.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the YAGEO NT series of NTC thermistors. These components are specifically engineered for inrush current limiting applications rather than temperature sensing. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings to suit different power electronics designs requiring surge protection.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 17 Ohm resistance, 3A current rating, and 10mm diameter. Verify lead spacing compatibility. Consult manufacturer cross-reference lists for equivalent parts from other suppliers offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
