NTE04-007M

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE04-007M is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 7 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20% at 25°C. The component supports a steady-state current rating of 4 Amperes and has a maximum operating temperature of 170°C. It utilizes a radial leaded package with a 5 mm lead pitch, suitable for through-hole PCB mounting.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective suppression of high inrush currents during power-up cycles
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics to reduce resistance as temperature rises
• Features robust radial leads for secure printed circuit board integration

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Transformer protection systems

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm thermal curves and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 170°C maximum operating temperature limit. Confirm that the 4A steady-state current rating aligns with the circuit's continuous load requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 7 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak charging currents. The 4A current rating defines the maximum continuous operational capacity. Consider the physical size constraints of the 10mm diameter body and the 5mm lead spacing for PCB layout compatibility.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

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

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

NTE04-005M: Offers similar form factor but lower resistance (5 Ohms) and higher current handling (4A). Verify if the reduced resistance meets the specific inrush limiting requirements of the target circuit design.
