SL12 10006-A

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The SL12 10006-A is a radial leaded NTC thermistor inrush current limiter from the Vishay Ametherm SL12 series. It features a nominal resistance of 10 ohms with a tolerance of 20%. The component is rated for a steady-state current of 6A and supports voltage ratings of 115 VAC and 230 VAC. Physical dimensions include a diameter of 12 mm, width of 5.1 mm, and lead spacing of 7.8 mm. Lead diameter is specified at 0.8 mm.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Radial leaded construction designed for PCB mounting
• Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor technology
• Kinked lead configuration for secure mechanical retention

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Inrush current limiting in AC power supply inputs
• Protection of electronic circuits during startup phases
• General purpose AC line filtering applications

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify component availability status prior to procurement planning as this specific part number may be subject to restricted supply conditions or discontinuation notices. Confirm that the kinked lead style matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the 10-ohm resistance value aligns with the system's thermal and electrical design constraints for the intended application environment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10-ohm initial resistance is required to limit surge currents up to 6A in 115V or 230V AC systems. The 12mm diameter provides a balance between thermal mass and physical size. Consider the kinked lead style if enhanced mechanical stability on the PCB is necessary compared to standard straight leads.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This device belongs to the Vishay Ametherm SL12 series of inrush current limiters. The series utilizes NTC thermistor materials to provide high initial resistance that drops significantly as temperature increases during operation. This characteristic allows for effective suppression of charging currents in capacitive loads without excessive power loss during steady-state operation.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 10-ohm resistance, 6A current rating, 12mm diameter, and kinked lead configuration.
