Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Murata documentation to ensure correct resistance and tolerance specifications. Confirm that the radial package dimensions align with your printed circuit board layout requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's latest datasheet before finalizing procurement plans.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required nominal resistance value of 16 Ohms and the maximum continuous current rating of 1.2 Amperes. Ensure the operating temperature range of -20°C to +160°C meets the environmental conditions of the target application. Verify that the radial leaded form factor is compatible with the assembly process.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the NTPA series of inrush current limiters from Murata Electronics. These components are distinct from standard temperature sensing NTCs, as they are engineered to handle high initial energy loads while providing protection against surge currents in electrical circuits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult official Murata documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Cross-reference key parameters such as resistance, current rating, and package type when evaluating potential alternatives.
