SL2230006

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Overview

The SL2230006 is a radial lead inrush current limiter from the Vishay Ametherm SL22 series. It features a nominal resistance of 30 Ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. The device supports a maximum steady-state current of 6 A at temperatures up to 65°C and has a physical diameter of 22 mm. Designed for PCB mounting, it utilizes ceramic technology to limit surge currents during power-up.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Feature Summary

• Provides effective limitation of high inrush currents during initial power application
• Utilizes negative temperature coefficient ceramic composition for rapid resistance drop
• Supports repeated cycling without significant degradation of limiting characteristics

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Applications

• Power supply input stages
• Transformer primary circuits
• Capacitive load protection

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm datasheet revisions match design requirements. Ensure storage conditions prevent moisture absorption prior to soldering. Validate that the specific batch meets RoHS compliance standards required by your region.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires a 30 Ohm initial impedance to restrict startup surges. Ensure the expected steady-state current does not exceed 6 A under maximum ambient temperature conditions. Verify that the 22 mm diameter fits within the available PCB footprint and clearance constraints.
