Current limiting NTC thermistors reduce circuit failures

API TECHNOLOGIES Surge-Gard inrush current limiting NTC thermistors limit the inrush current that occurs when power is applied to a system. Devices reduce circuit failures and lower rectifier costs by reducing required peak forward surge current ratings. Products provide steady state current ratings ranging from 1 to 36 amps and resistance values from 0.5Ohm to 220Ohm and are manufactured using specially formulated metal oxide ceramic materials that allow the thermistors to suppress high inrush current surges.
