NTE05-001LF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTE05-001LF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 1 Ohm with a tolerance of ±15%. The component supports a continuous current rating of 5 Amperes and has a physical diameter of 13.5 mm. It utilizes radial leads for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of high inrush currents during power-up sequences
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Designed for robust protection of sensitive electronic components against surge damage

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Motor drive circuits
• Transformer primary side protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LF indicates lead-free compliance if required by project specifications. Confirm that the 13.5 mm package size fits within the designated PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the 5A continuous current rating aligns with the maximum operational load of the target circuit design.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit peak charging currents. Verify that the thermal management capabilities of the PCB can handle the heat dissipation during the high-resistance cold state phase. Consider the 15% tolerance for worst-case scenario analysis in the circuit design.
