Amphenol Advanced Sensors Thermometric Diode Surface Mount Thermistor 19.55mm Diameter CL-60

Amphenol Advanced Sensors CL-60 thermistor is a compact surface-mounted thermometric diode designed specifically for inrush current limiting in electrical circuits. Its disc shape with uninsulated lead wires ensures straightforward PCB mounting, making it ideal for controlling sudden current surges when switching power supplies. This thermistor's resistance characteristic helps protect critical components in series with DC/DC converters to prevent damage caused by high inrush currents.

The CL-60 model features a resistance value of 10 ohms and a steady-state current capability of 5 A, balancing efficient performance with protection requirements. Its wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 175°C (-58°F to 347°F) supports diverse industrial and commercial applications including motors, fluorescent lamps, and various power supply systems.

By limiting the inrush current, the thermistor reduces the risk of nuisance fuse blowing or circuit breaker trips and minimizes switch contact welding, enhancing reliability and longevity of electrical equipment. The device also features a best-in-class capacitance rating and low steady resistance that contributes to reduced power loss during operation.

This thermistor offers low cost and solid-state durability, providing significant design benefits over larger passive components. Compliance with RoHS standards ensures environmentally safe usage. The CL-60 thermistor is manufactured in the United States with stringent quality controls to meet industry requirements.
