Vishay / BC Components PTCEL Inrush Current Limiting PTC Thermistors
Vishay / BC Components PTCEL Inrush Current Limiting PTC Thermistors offer a 60Ω to 1000Ω resistance range, 1000V high voltage, and 40A maximum inrush current. PTCEL thermistors are AEC-Q200 qualified and have a positive temperature coefficient and are primarily intended for inrush current limiting and overload protection. These thermistors are self-protecting in case of overload with no risk of overheating and have high energy absorption levels up to 240J. Vishay PTCEL PTC Thermistors are ideal for power inverters, discharge-charge circuits, and smoothing and DC-link capacitor banks.
