NTE03-020MF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-020MF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 5 ohms at standard reference conditions and supports a maximum steady-state current of 4 amperes. The component utilizes a 10mm diameter bead construction, providing robust thermal mass for absorbing high-energy transient currents during power-up sequences. This specific variant belongs to the NT series, optimized for reliable performance in electronic circuits requiring protection against initial surge currents.
