Amphenol (CL-40) Thermistor, ICL NTC, 5 ohm, Radial Leaded, CL Series

Product InformationProduct Range: CLDisc Size: 19.56mmZero Power Resistance at 25°C: 5ohmApprovals: ULMaximum Energy Rating at 25°C: 37.44JMaximum Steady State Current at 25°C: 6AProduct OverviewThe CL-40 is a 2-pin NTC Inrush Current Limiter features small physical sizeoffers design-in benefits over larger passive components and solid state devicefor inrush current suppression. The disc thermistor with uninsulated lead wires.The problem of current surges in switch-mode power supplies is caused by thelarge filter capacitors used to smooth the ripple in the rectified 60Hz currentprior to being chopped at a high frequency. The maximum surge current, the mainpurpose of limiting inrush current is to prevent components in series with theinput to the DC/DC convertor from being damaged. The maximum steady-statecurrent rating of a thermistor is mainly determined by the acceptable life ofthe final products for which the thermistor becomes a component. Suitable forPCB mounting.Low steady resistance and accompanying power lossBest-in-class capacitance ratingsExcellent mechanical strengthEnergy surge at turn-on-50 to 175°C Wide operating temperature rangeApplicationsConsumer Electronics, Power Management, Lighting, Motor Drive & Control
