SL2210008TS

Overview

The Vishay Ametherm SL2210008TS is a bigAMP inrush current limiter designed for PCB mounting. It features a nominal resistance of 10 Ohms and a continuous current rating of 8 A. The device supports voltage ratings of 115 VAC and 230 VAC. Key electrical parameters include a dissipation constant of 32.4 mW/°C, a maximum input energy absorption of 260 Joules, and a peak current capacity up to 36 A. The component utilizes a radial lead configuration with a body diameter of 22 mm.

Feature Summary

• Capable of withstanding high continuous currents up to 36 amperes
• Provides robust protection against high surge input energy up to 260 joules
• Designed for reliable operation in demanding power supply applications

Applications

• Switching power supplies
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Industrial inverters
• Variable frequency drives

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TS' against official Vishay documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging requirements. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal and mechanical specifications for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the UL certification status if safety compliance is mandatory for the end application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit designs require handling significant inrush currents without excessive steady-state power loss. The 10 Ohm resistance value must be evaluated against the specific charging time constants of the connected capacitive loads. Confirm that the 8 A continuous current rating exceeds the operational peak current of the system under all expected conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the bigAMP series of NTC thermistors from Vishay Ametherm. These components are engineered to limit inrush current during power-up while maintaining low resistance during normal operation. The SL22 series offers high energy absorption capabilities suitable for industrial and commercial power electronics.
