ST16002D

Overview

The Littelfuse ST16002D is a radial through-hole inrush current limiter (ICL) designed to mitigate initial surge currents during power application. It features a nominal resistance of 16 Ohms at 25°C and supports a continuous current rating of 2 Amperes. The component utilizes a standard radial package with a diameter of 0.600 inches (15.24mm). This device serves as a protective element for sensitive electronic circuits against high transient currents.

Feature Summary

• Reduces initial surge current when power is first applied
• Protects sensitive components from high transient currents
• Utilizes radial through-hole mounting technology

Applications

• Power supply input protection
• Inrush current limiting in consumer electronics
• Protection of sensitive circuit components during startup
