Get help specifying or customising the right product for your application.
Working alongside your design team from the earliest stage, we help you select the right part for the application and, where a standard part will not do, develop customised components with our manufacturing partners such as lead length, termination and package size.
The SL15 12102 inrush current limiting thermistor from Ametherm offers a maximum steady state current of 2A (up to +25°C), resistance of 120Ω ±25% (at 25°C) and a maximum recommended energy rating of 40J. The Ametherm SL series suppresses surge currents that occur when electrical circuits are switched on, preventing serious damage to sensitive electronic components if their rated current values are exceeded. Connected in series with the load, at “switch-on” they limit the current due to its relatively high cold resistance. As a result of current flow, the thermistor self-heats and in turn reducing its resistance value so that once the initial surge current has been safely held off, the resistance in the thermistor is maintained at a low value to maximise efficiency
Typical applications for the SL series include:
