Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure that the 10 Ohm resistance value aligns with the circuit design requirements for the target application voltage. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest product documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 8 A steady-state current capacity and 10 Ohm initial resistance. Evaluate the physical dimensions, specifically the 22 mm diameter, to ensure adequate clearance on the PCB layout. Consider the thermal characteristics and self-heating properties inherent to NTC thermistors when designing the surrounding circuitry.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context
