Inrush Current Limiters (ICL)

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) for Surge Current Control and Power Protection

Inrush current limiters (ICL), typically NTC thermistors, are designed to reduce high inrush current during power-on. They protect power supplies, capacitors, and electronic systems from damage caused by sudden current surges.

FAQ

1. What is an inrush current limiter (ICL)?

An ICL is a device, typically an NTC thermistor, used to limit high surge current when power is first applied to a circuit.

2. How does an NTC thermistor limit inrush current?

At startup, the thermistor has high resistance, limiting current. As it heats up, resistance decreases, allowing normal operation.

3. Where are ICL thermistors commonly used?

They are widely used in power supplies, LED drivers, motor systems, and industrial equipment.

4. How do I select the right inrush current limiter?

Key parameters include resistance at 25°C, maximum steady-state current, energy rating, and application requirements.

5. Do you support sourcing discontinued ICL components?

Yes, we help source obsolete or hard-to-find ICL thermistors and can recommend suitable alternatives.

6. What is your quality assurance policy?

All products come with a 180-day warranty. Customers must provide authorized test reports or visual evidence for any claims within the valid period.
