SL0560001

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The SL0560001 is a radial leaded inrush current limiter from the Vishay Ametherm SL05 series. It features a nominal resistance of 60 ohms with a tolerance of ±15%. The component has a maximum steady-state current rating of 1 A and a diameter of 5.50 mm (0.217 inches). It is designed to withstand an inrush energy capacity of 0.82 Joules. The device utilizes NTC thermistor technology for circuit protection.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of initial surge currents during power-up sequences
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient characteristics for automatic resistance adjustment
• Capable of absorbing specific levels of transient inrush energy

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer primary circuits
• Capacitive load protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the SL0560001 to confirm thermal characteristics and pulse handling capabilities. Ensure that the operating environment does not exceed the rated steady-state current of 1 A. Confirm that the PCB layout allows for adequate spacing around the 5.50 mm diameter component to prevent thermal interference with adjacent parts.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-ohm initial resistance is required to limit startup surges. The 1 A current rating suits low-power applications. Consider the 0.82 Joule energy limit for capacitor charging scenarios. Verify that the radial package fits the target PCB footprint and that the operating temperature range aligns with system requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the SL05 series of inrush current limiters, which are compact NTC thermistors designed for protecting electronic circuits against high initial charging currents. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings to match different power supply designs.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 60 ohm resistance, 1 A current rating, and 5.50 mm diameter. Verify that alternative components offer comparable energy absorption capabilities of approximately 0.82 Joules.
