NTG04-014L

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTG04-014L is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for inrush current limiting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 14 Ohms at standard conditions and supports a steady-state current of 4 Amperes. The component has a body diameter of 13mm, providing robust thermal mass for high-energy surge absorption. It operates within a defined temperature range suitable for industrial electronics protection.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective suppression of inrush currents during power-up phases
• Utilizes NTC material characteristics to reduce resistance as temperature increases
• Offers reliable protection for sensitive electronic components against surge damage

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Consumer electronics AC/DC adapters
• Industrial control systems

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for exact thermal characteristics and maximum energy ratings. Confirm that the 14 Ohm nominal value aligns with the circuit design requirements for inrush limitation. Ensure the 4A steady-state current capacity meets the operational load specifications without exceeding thermal limits under continuous operation.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 13mm diameter NTC thermistor is required for moderate current levels around 4 Amperes. The 14 Ohm initial resistance is suitable for applications requiring significant inrush reduction. Consider the physical size constraints on the PCB or within the enclosure, as the 13mm body requires adequate spacing for heat dissipation.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to YAGEO's NTC Thermistor series, specifically engineered for inrush current limiting. Unlike surface-mount resistors, these are through-hole or leaded components designed for higher energy handling. The NTG series provides a cost-effective solution for protecting downstream circuits from high startup currents common in capacitive loads.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility by matching key parameters: 14 Ohm resistance, 4A current rating, and 13mm diameter. Consult manufacturer catalogs for direct equivalents if this obsolete or unavailable item.
