Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact resistance value and current rating, as variations exist within the SL22 series. Ensure the application voltage and thermal environment are compatible with the component's dissipation factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise thermal derating curves before finalizing the design.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30-ohm initial resistance and 5-amp steady-state current capacity are required for 22-mm form factor applications. Consider the dissipation factor for thermal management in enclosed designs. Compare against other SL22 variants if different resistance or current ratings better suit the circuit requirements.
