Inrush Current Limiting Power NTC Thermistors For Switch Mode Power Supply Quick Detail: ·Low cost solid state device for inrush current supression. ·Minimise line current distortion and radio noise. ·Protect switches, rectifier diodes and smoothing capacitors against premature failures. ·Prevent fuse from blowing in error. Description: Power NTC thermistor can be a cost effective device to limit the amount of inrush current in a switching power supply or other devices when the power is first turned on. Power NTC thermistor limits surge current by functioning as a power resistor which drops from a high cold resistance to a low hot resistance when heated by the current flowing through it. Inrush-current limiters power NTC thermistor protect circuits from undesirably high currents, suppressing high inrush current surges, while its resistance remains negligible low during continuous operation. Thanks to their low resistance in the operating state, Power thermistor have a considerably lower power dissipation than the fixed resistors frequently used for this application. Applications: Limiting surge current, suitable for the protection of switch mode power supply, UPS power, transformers, motors, various electric heating utensil, energy saving lights, ballast, various power circuit, amplifiers, colored displayer, monitors, color TV, filament protection, etc. Power thermistor components can also be used for the soft starting of motors, for example in vacuum cleaners with continuous currents of up to 20 A.

Inrush Current Limiting Power NTC Thermistor Application Precautions 1) For inrush current limiting, the NTC thermistor must be connected in series with the load circuit. Several inrush current limiters can also be connected in series for higher damping. Inrush current limiters must not be connected in parallel. 2) In general inrush current limiters require time to get back to cold state, in which they can provide adequate inrush current limiting due to their high resistance. The cooling down time depends on ambient conditions. 3) It should be considered that the surrounding area of NTC Thermistor may become quite hot.Ensure the adjacent components are placed at sufficient distance from a thermistor to allow for proper cooling time of the thermistor. 4) Make sure that adjacent materials are designed for operation at temperatures comparable to the surface temperature of the thermistor. Make sure that surrounding parts and materials can withstand this temperature. 5) Make sure that thermistors are adequately ventilated to avoid overheating. 6) Avoid comtamination of the thermistor surface. 7) Avoid contact of NTC thermistors with any liquids and solvents. Ensure that no water enters an NTC thermistor. Competitive Advantage: -
