Amphenol Advanced Sensors CL Series Inrush Current Limiters
Amphenol Advanced Sensors CL Series Inrush Current Limiters are UL-approved and have best-in-class capacitance ratings. The CL series inrush current limiters are available with kinked or straight leads and tap and reel to EIS RS-468A for automatic insertion. These function as power resistors, which are able to limit surge current when high cold resistance drops to low hot resistance with current flow. The inrush current limiters offer an operating temperature range from -50°C to +175°C. Typical applications include fluorescent lamps, power supplies, and inverters.
