NTE04-010LF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE04-010LF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 10 Ohms with a tolerance of 15%. The component is rated for a steady-state current of 4 Amperes and has a physical diameter of 13.5 mm. This disc-shaped thermistor is engineered to limit high surge currents during power-up, protecting downstream electronic circuits from damage caused by excessive initial current flow.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect sensitive electronic components
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics for automatic resistance adjustment
• Constructed as a robust disc thermistor suitable for through-hole mounting

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Transformer primary windings

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix requirements against the official YAGEO datasheet, as lead times may vary significantly depending on the manufacturing batch and regional distribution channels. Confirm that the 13.5 mm package dimension aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires passive surge suppression without active switching elements. Ensure the 4A steady-state current rating exceeds the maximum operating current of the load. Verify that the 10 Ohm initial resistance provides adequate inrush limiting for the specific voltage and capacitance parameters of the application.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the NTC thermistor family within the broader category of passive electronic components. It serves a specialized protective role distinct from standard resistive or capacitive elements, focusing specifically on transient current management rather than signal processing or energy storage functions.
