Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the 21 Ohm resistance value aligns with the target circuit's thermal and electrical requirements. Ensure the 3 A current rating exceeds the maximum expected operating current to prevent component failure.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 8 mm form factor is required for inrush current management. The 21 Ohm initial resistance is suitable for applications requiring moderate startup current suppression. Consider the 170°C maximum operating temperature limit for high-thermal environments. Validate compatibility with the specific PCB mounting constraints and bulk packaging handling procedures.
