Inrush Current Limiters (ICL)
Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) are available at Tenco Electronics. An inrush current limiter is a component used to limit inrush current to avoid gradual damage to components and avoid blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fixed resistors are often used to limit inrush current. NTC thermistors can be used as inrush-current limiting devices in power supply circuits when added in series with the circuit being protected. They present a higher resistance initially, which prevents large currents from flowing at turn-on.Tenco offers inventory, pricing, & datasheets for Inrush Current Limiters (ICL).
