SL0810001

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The SL0810001 is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor inrush current limiter from the Vishay Ametherm SL08 series. Designed for radial PCB mounting, this component features an 8 mm diameter bead with kinked leads to facilitate secure installation. It provides a nominal resistance of 10 Ohms at 25°C with a tolerance of ±20%. The device is rated for a steady-state current of 1 A and is intended to suppress high initial charging currents in electronic circuits.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Suppresses high inrush currents during power-up to protect downstream components
• Utilizes NTC thermistor technology for automatic resistance reduction after startup
• Features kinked radial leads for reliable mechanical retention on printed circuit boards

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

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

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'J' or absence thereof against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact tolerance and lead configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 1 A current rating and 10 Ohm resistance for the target application. Cross-reference the package dimensions with the PCB footprint to guarantee proper fitment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the 10 Ohm cold resistance and 1 A continuous current rating. Consider the thermal environment and the maximum allowable inrush current duration. Verify that the 8 mm form factor fits within the available board space and that the kinked lead style aligns with the assembly process requirements.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the SL08 series of inrush current limiters manufactured by Vishay Ametherm. The series offers various resistance values and current ratings in an 8 mm bead package. These components are standard solutions for managing transient currents in low-power electronic designs requiring compact NTC thermistor implementations.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Vishay Ametherm cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the 10 Ohm resistance, 1 A current rating, and compatible physical dimensions for direct interchangeability.
