NTE03-022MF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE03-022MF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a 10mm diameter body with a nominal resistance of 5 Ohms at standard reference conditions and a tolerance of ±20%. The component supports a maximum steady-state current rating of 4 Amperes. It utilizes a radial leaded package configuration suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective suppression of high initial surge currents during power-up sequences
• Exhibits rapid resistance decrease as operating temperature increases to minimize power loss
• Constructed with robust radial leads for secure mechanical attachment to PCBs

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages for surge protection
• Motor drive circuits requiring inrush control
• Transformer primary side current limitation

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific electrical parameters against the official manufacturer datasheet prior to integration. Confirm that the thermal environment and current ratings align with the system requirements. Ensure the radial lead spacing matches the target PCB footprint design specifications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 Ohm nominal resistance and 4A current capacity are required for inrush limiting. Consider the physical dimensions and thermal dissipation characteristics relative to the available board space and ambient operating conditions.
