NTG04-014LF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTG04-014LF is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) inrush current limiter designed for electronic circuits. It features a nominal resistance of 14 Ohms with a tolerance of ±15% and supports a steady-state current of 4 Amperes. The component utilizes an 8mm leaded package configuration, suitable for through-hole mounting. This device functions by providing high initial resistance to limit surge currents during power-up, subsequently reducing resistance as it heats up during normal operation.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of inrush current during circuit startup phases
• Features rapid thermal response to transition from high resistance to low resistance state
• Designed for robust performance under repeated surge conditions

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

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

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging format directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer before purchase. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental certifications and RoHS compliance standards applicable to your region. Ensure that the selected supplier provides valid traceability documentation and original manufacturer seals to guarantee authenticity and prevent counterfeit components.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required steady-state current rating and nominal resistance value for the specific application voltage. Ensure the physical package dimensions fit the available board space and mounting constraints. Consider the maximum allowable temperature rise and energy absorption capabilities to ensure reliable long-term operation under expected load conditions without exceeding thermal limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the NT series of NTC thermistors manufactured by YAGEO. These components are specifically engineered as inrush current limiters rather than standard temperature sensing devices. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings to accommodate different power levels and circuit requirements across industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 14 Ohm nominal resistance, 4A current rating, and 8mm package style. Verify equivalent thermal characteristics and time-current curves when considering alternative manufacturers. Cross-reference with other YAGEO NT series variants if minor parameter adjustments are acceptable.
