Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the exact electrical parameters against the official datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 'BCJ' suffix aligns with your specific design requirements, as it may denote custom specifications distinct from standard catalog parts. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the component's operating temperature range and dissipation characteristics during repeated surge events.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this part when a 2.5 Ohm resistance and 9 A steady-state current are required within the SL15 form factor. Compare physical dimensions against available PCB real estate. Evaluate the trade-off between initial resistance and maximum allowable inrush current for the target circuit. Consider ambient temperature derating factors if the operating environment exceeds standard conditions.
