SL0510002A

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The Vishay Ametherm SL0510002A is a miniature inrush current limiter (ICL) belonging to the SL05 series. It features a nominal resistance of 10 ohms with a tolerance of ±15%. The component is rated for a steady-state current of 2 amperes and has a physical diameter of 5 mm. Designed as an NTC thermistor, it provides effective surge protection for space-constrained electronic circuits by limiting initial charging currents.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Miniature form factor designed for space-sensitive applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify availability through authorized distributors as stock levels may be restricted. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required resistance and current ratings. Ensure compliance with regional shipping restrictions and RoHS directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires a compact inrush limiter with a 10-ohm baseline resistance. The 2-ampere rating must align with the maximum operating current of the target application. Consider the 5-millimeter diameter constraint for PCB layout and thermal management requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay Ametherm SL05 miniAMP series of NTC thermistors. These components are engineered specifically for applications where standard-sized limiters cannot fit. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings to suit different power levels while maintaining a consistent small footprint.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay Ametherm SL05 variants with matching electrical parameters. Cross-reference resistance and current ratings carefully. Verify package dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility during replacement.
