CL-60 Amphenol Advanced Sensors Ceramic NTC Thermistor, 10Ω, -50°C Min, 175°C Max

The Amphenol Advanced Sensor's CL-60 is Inrush Current Limiting Thermistors consists of a disc thermistor with uninsulated lead-wires, and are used to control inrush current when switching power supplies. The main purpose of limiting inrush current is to prevent components in series with the input to the DC/DC convertor from being damaged. Typically, inrush protection prevents nuisance blowing of fuses or breakers as well as welding of switch contacts. With resistance of 10 ohms, and steady state current is 5 A._x000D_ Small physical size offers design-in benefits over large passive components._x000D_ Low cost, solid state device for inrush current suppression._x000D_ Best-in-class capacitance rating._x000D_ Low steady resistance and accompanying power loss._x000D_ Suitable for PCB mounting._x000D_ Wide operating temperature range: -58 F to 347 F (-50 C to 175 C).
