SL2210005B

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The Vishay Ametherm SL2210005B is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) inrush current limiter from the SL22 series. It features a nominal resistance of 10 ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The device supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and has a diameter of 22 mm. Designed for PCB mounting, it utilizes radial leads for secure installation. The component is RoHS compliant and operates within standard industrial temperature ranges.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Engineered to withstand high continuous currents up to 36 amperes and significant input energy levels.
• Constructed as a specialized thermistor designed specifically for robust inrush current limiting applications.
• Provides reliable circuit protection against surge currents during power-up phases.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply units requiring surge protection
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics with high startup currents

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'B' against the official Vishay datasheet to confirm lead time and availability status. Ensure the procurement channel is an authorized distributor to guarantee component authenticity. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 995-SL2210005-B for accurate stock information and pricing details before finalizing purchase orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10-ohm initial resistance and 5-amp continuous current capacity are required. The 22 mm diameter form factor suits applications needing higher thermal mass compared to smaller series. Verify that the radial lead spacing matches the target PCB footprint. Consider the SL22 series characteristics for environments demanding high energy absorption capabilities.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

The SL2210005B belongs to the Vishay Ametherm SL22 series of bigAMP inrush current limiters. This series is characterized by its ability to handle high continuous currents and input energy. The component serves as a critical protection element in electronic circuits, preventing damage from transient surges while allowing normal operation once heated.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SL2210005 variant, though tolerance differences may exist. The SL2210005B is distinct from the SL2220005B which offers 20 ohms resistance. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance when considering cross-series replacements like the SL12 series.
