PTCEL13R102STE

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The PTCEL13R102STE is an inrush current limiter manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. It features a resistance of 1 kOhms with a tolerance of ±30%. The component has a cylindrical body diameter of 0.531 inches (13.50mm). It is designed for through-hole mounting and operates within standard industrial temperature ranges.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Functions as an inrush current limiter to protect electronic circuits from high initial surge currents during power-up.
• Constructed with a robust cylindrical body suitable for through-hole PCB integration.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Electronic circuit protection against surge currents
• Industrial equipment power management

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number PTCEL13R102STE against official Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the 1 kOhms resistance value and ±30% tolerance match the design requirements. Check for any obsolescence notices or alternative package options if the standard lead time does not align with production schedules.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed resistance inrush current limiter is required for through-hole applications. Ensure the 1 kOhms nominal resistance and ±30% tolerance are compatible with the target circuit's surge suppression needs. Verify that the 0.531-inch diameter fits the available PCB space and mounting constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This component belongs to the inrush current limiter category from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. It serves as a passive protection device, distinct from active components or general-purpose resistors. The PTCEL series is engineered specifically for managing transient currents in power electronics.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

The PTCEL13R102SBE is listed as a related variant with identical electrical specifications. Verify compatibility before substitution, as packaging or minor physical differences may exist between these part numbers.
