NTG04-016LF

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The YAGEO NTG04-016LF is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed as an inrush current limiter. It features a nominal resistance of 16 Ohms with a tolerance of ±15%. The component supports a maximum steady-state current of 4 Amperes and has a physical diameter of 16mm. It operates within a standard temperature range suitable for general electronic applications.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect downstream components from high initial surge currents during power-up.
• Utilizes NTC material properties to provide high resistance at low temperatures, which decreases as the device heats up during operation.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Consumer electronics devices
• General circuit protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability may vary by region. Confirm that the 16mm form factor fits the target PCB layout. Ensure the 4A current rating meets the application's peak load requirements without exceeding thermal limits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 Ohm initial resistance is required to limit surge current in circuits handling up to 4 Amperes. Consider the 16mm diameter for adequate heat dissipation and mechanical stability. Compare against other NTG series variants if different resistance values or current ratings are needed for specific power supply designs.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to YAGEO's NTG series of inrush current limiters. These components are widely used in passive component portfolios to manage transient currents. The NTG series offers various resistance and current combinations to suit different power levels and system constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the NTG series with matching 16 Ohm resistance and 4A current ratings. Verify compatibility with existing thermal management solutions due to similar operating characteristics.
